Have you ever seen more soulful eyes? If you can, give $5 or $10 to this volunteer animal rescue group — see below. You know this is my favorite charity. Just a few dollars from each of us is so helpful - it means whether these dogs get rescued and get homes.
Click here http://www.petconnectrescue.org/ if you want to give a few dollars (and yes, if you want to give more than a few, you can be sure it would be used wisely.)
One other thing, if you do go to this website and give, tell them GretaWire sent you since it is fun for me to hear later how many animal lovers there are amongst us and I ask.
This is Thelma. She was turned into a shelter because her family would no longer care for her. A pet that is surrendered by it’s owner is usually euthanized before many of the other shelter animals.There is no need to hold the animal for very long. Sadly, the shelter staff understands that there is no one to come back for that abandoned animal. PetConnect rescued Thelma just in time - the shelter was overcrowded that week.
Millions of dogs and cats are euthanized each year in America because there is simply no place for them to go. These animals are not dying because they are unsuitable pets or because they are unlovable; it is simply because most of America does not know that they are out there. In rescue organizations across the country it is possible to find every size, every breed, every age and every type of dog or cat. Awareness is the missing element in pet rescue.
We can all help today, right now….by simply spreading the word. Tell everyone you know about rescue animals. Encourage every animal lover you meet to get involved. Speak up for the sad dog lying by his cage door hoping that his owner will return for him soon. Speak up for the cat that was dropped off at a shelter because her owner lost her house. Speak up for all of the animals that just want a place to call home. Do it now because they don’t have much time left.
Dogs and cats are dying in silence. Voiceless, helpless animals are waiting in cold steel cages for us to speak for them. Whatever we are doing to get the word out, we need to triple, quadruple the effort. The louder we speak, the more we can save.
