SAVE THE ANIMALS: DO IT

These are a couple of pics of the last few pups I had the opportunity of fostering. For those who don’t know, places like the RSPCA and The Animal Welfare League need temporary foster parents for animals such as puppies, dogs, cats and kittens to free up space in their shelters, to look after until their old enough to be adopted, or to just give them a chance at a normal home life outside of the shelter. They are always needing more helpers and it’s an amazing experience for anyone who loves animals to help out. For me and for many people out there wanting to help, you may not have money to donate but you may have the time. The only downfall? Giving them back. I have managed to break down in tears on many occasions but I know they are going to a wonderful home. So what are you waiting for? Go out and sign up at your local shelter, you may be cuddling one of these pups before you know it!

I’m also shocked sometimes at the lack of awareness people have in regards to animal cruelty. It’s really not people’s fault because if given the chance, I know most people would never choose to support cruelty to animals if there was an alternative option. Case in point: pet shops. Majority of the public don’t realize how evil pet shop chains actually are and many found out recently after the huge breakthrough by PETA into U.S. Global Exotics who supply animals to ALL major pet stores. If you have not yet heard the story or seen photos of what was uncovered I urge you to do so. Stay educated! There's absolutely NO need to buy a pet from the pet store or a breeder when the shelters are overflowing.

P.S. Sorry for the not-so-lighthearted post. Some things just need to be said.
