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.

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.
