New Friends Help Dogs in Need!
Friday, November 13th, 2009It’s no secret that the number of stray animals and abandoned pets is on the rise and, sadly, is now reaching epidemic proportions. First, there were all the abandoned pets resulting from Hurricane Katrina and now there are the “Foreclosure Dogs.” We at Brandy and Val are very pleased to have recently formed alliances with Help Save a Stray and Happy Tails Books, two groups that address these issues in philanthropic ways:
HELP SAVE A STRAY Rather than my editorialize, I’ll just quote from Jennifer, the
organization’s founder and then you can check out the site on your own!
“The mission of helpsaveastray.com is to increase the amount of donations and adoptions made through animal shelters and rescue foundations and decrease the amount of stray animals in the United States, by promoting animal shelters and rescue foundations as well as educating pet owners on proper pet care, so that every animal will have a safe place to call home……No animal deserves to be without a loving, caring, forever home. Help me through this journey of education and promotion. I’m convinced that if we all work together we can and will make a change!”
Our next alliance is with HAPPY TAILS BOOKS. Again, who can tell the story better than the organization’s founder? Here’s what Kyla Duffy has to say:
“Happy Tails Books collects thought-provoking stories from people who have participated in dog rescue or dog adoption, and compiles them into books that educate and entertain readers! Our “Lost Souls: FOUND!” series of books raises awareness about dog rescue efforts and provides a source of funding for dog rescue groups.”
The stories are breed-specific so you can support one or all!
