I have a HUGE heart for homeless pets.  Mainly the four-legged fur babies.  I have 3 dogs.  My husband wishes we had no dogs, and I would have 20 if I could.  I was once told by someone that they wouldn't help me with a dog fundraiser because that money should help people.  The truth is, helping pets helps people in many many ways.  Spay and neutering animals helps control the pet population (yep, Bob Barker preached it).  It keep pets out of the shelters that are state funded.  We keep pets out of shelter then that's more money to go towards people.  Pets also are therapy dogs for children with special needs, therapy dogs for the men and women who sacrificed for our county.  Have you heard of dogs cheering up the elderly in nursing homes?  Animals love unconditionally.  I know mine, over the years, have been there to comfort when I was sad, mad, happy.  They are running buddies (well, not mine cause they are either old or lazy), protectors of the ones that need protection.  They warn families of danger, intruders, fires.  Dogs and cats aren't meant to be outside, alone. They crave and need companionship from their humans!  God wouldn't have given us these gifts if we wen rent supposed to have them.

This is Locker on the Left and Diesel on the Right. Telli doesn't like to have her picture taken, but she's a lab mix that's old and set in her ways.

 Pawmetto Lifeline

Are two of the organizations I have been happy to donate to, foster and adopt with.  There are so many animals that just need LOVE!  I see pictures and hear stories of the cruelty that's done to animals every day.  We need stricter laws and we need to stop buying animals and adopt!  There are puppies out there, purebred puppies!  

This is what Diesel did when left in the house with the other two.  Our DVD remote was in there too.  Luckily, I had the couch cushions in the laundry because of my potty training two year old.  

I managed to put the foam back in the couch and still have them.  

I love dogs, and some cats.  Here is a good read about shelter pets.  So, please, think about getting a shelter pet!

good little read

These reasons are not good enough.

Ok, that's my soapbox for the day!  

Thanks for stopping by.

Please consider adopting a pet.  They will love you no matter what!  But be sweet to them and treat them like the family they desire to be!
