Not Owned, But Loved!
February is “Responsible Pet Owners Month,” but I’m not having it! The word “owners” is wrong. Ownership involves property, and we don’t own pets any more than we own people! We care for them, love them, and respect them, but we do not own them. So, I hereby declare February as “Responsible Pet Parents Month” because, as adoptive parents, pet parents are responsible for the well-being and happiness of the beings they love — no matter what!

When you listen to your heart you can make a difference in the lives of homeless animals. Tommy desperately needed surgery to correct a life-threatening heart defect that kept him from being the happy and playful pup he wanted to be. Today, Tommy’s heart is on the mend thanks to the generosity of people like you. Will you open your heart today and help us save more lives tomorrow?

Catch Up with Seamus

Seamus was abandoned in an empty apartment, with no access to food or water. When he was found severely malnourished, he was believed to be on the brink of death. We caught up with Seamus who has been getting stronger every day and breaking hearts along the way.
