SITUATIONS REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

SOS ~ ANIMALS NEEDING IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE ~

**********************************************************

You know what you do makes only a tiny ripple on the ocean of problems that millions of animals face in the world, but one ripple is better than none. One animal saved is better than none. Making a difference for one is better than making no difference for any.

~Virginia McKenna

**********************************************************

All of the animals on this website have a story to tell - most are tragedies caused by human cruelty, irresponsibility, and/or indifference. Please help make their stories have happy endings!

QUOTE OF THE DAY

PLEASE NOTE: I am currently rethinking and revising this website. If I post a link to a specific shelter below, I may not have updated the information on the linking page on this website, but there will be a post/link on my Facebook pages about the shelter or animals in need. I am trying to be more efficient and post more animals in need.

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME - Author Unknown

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.

FYI: THIS IS WHY I STARTED THIS WEBSITE

Animal advocacy is, in a certain sense, standing up to tell true life stories that are not being heard; true life stories that most people are ignoring. The first step in animal advocacy is to help people see things differently. Animals are somebody, not something.
