Things have been very different this spring at Starlight Snail Rescue. We have not had half as many rescues as we did last year, and we are not nearly as busy. We have also had to downsize quite a bit. Speaking as the owner, taking care of all these animals, especially as a teenager, is very difficult. It takes a lot of strength, money, and time. All things that change for a teenager often. One month I may have enough money for vet bills, food, adoptions, etc, I may be feeling fine, and I may even have plenty of free time. But the next month, that can all change. I can loose all my money due to large expenses, my mental health can get really bad, and I can be overladed with studies. So, this year I have taken some time to take care of myself, but still have a passion for animals.
