Foster & Rescue For the Holiday’s

Animal Foster & Rescue

Animal Foster & Rescue

 

 

 

I know many of you have probably noticed my focusing on helping rescue animals lately. I have recently started working with some people who really focus on trying to keep innocent animals from getting euthanized due to lack of space in shelters and at ACC’s (Animal Care & Control). This is an issue that has always been close to my heart as both of my pooches are rescues one from NYCACC. It is no question to me that these animals need saving. It breaks my heart when I see things like Gone But Not Forgotten folders with images of hundreds of dogs that have been put to sleep for no reason other than there is no where else to put them.
The holiday’s are coming up and I ask that maybe you can find it in your heart to help those that cannot help themselves. Even if you cannot adopt a pet you can foster and help find them a good home! This is the season of giving sooo instead of spending money on presents spend your time and love on a pet that would other wise probably be put to sleep. Even if you have other pets or are apprehensive you can find a pet best suited to you.
If you can or want to adopt think of all of the benefits adoption has. You don’t spend thousands of dollars on a 3lb pooch that was bred with its own parents who will probably only last a few years because of the medical issues inbreeding causes in animals. If you rescue you give a pet a chance to have a safe and loving home which all animals deserve. You will feel better about yourself and your decision everyday you look in to your rescues eyes. I promise you they appreciate it and will love you just as much for keeping them safe.
I thank my pooches everyday for finding me and saving me because without them and the experiences they having given me I would definitely be without. I urge all of you who read my blog or who just plain love animals to seriously consider fostering or adopting this season. You won’t regret it!
If you are interested and are in the NY area click here and bring home your new best friend today!! If you aren’t in the area you can google your local ACC and find out their requirements.
If you have rescued your pet please tell us your story and we will post it on our blog so everyone gets a chance to feel the love!!

Get started with the Animal rescue today!

Rainforest Forever

I know you might think that purchasing a tree as a gift is a lame idea however I beg to differ. Rainforest Forever makes some excellent points as to why it isn’t such a lame gift.

One Rainforest Tree Helps Us Breath- The Amazon Rainforest has been described as the “Lungs of our Planet” because it provides the essential environmental world service of continuously recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. More than 20% of the world’s oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest.

One Rainforest Tree Can Heal The Sick – 25% of Western
pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, but less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists. More than 2,000 tropical rainforest plants have been identified with the potential to fight cancer.

One Rainforest Tree Supports an Abundance of Life- More than half of the world’s estimated 10 million species of plants, animals and insects live in the tropical rainforests. There are more fish species in the Amazon river system than in the entire Atlantic ocean.

One Rainforest Tree Gives Hope – There were an estimated ten million
Indians living in the Amazonian Rainforest five centuries ago. Today there are less than 200,000. Protection of the rainforest means these valuable tribes live on, passing the secrets of the rainforest from generation to generation.

One Rainforest Tree Protects Our Future- The rainforest is
necessary for a healthy and livable planet. You can protect and save this important source of life. A Rainforest Tree is not only a special gift to yourself or a loved one . . . a Rainforest Tree is a special gift to the entire world.

Rainforest Forever packages range in price from $50-$70 which really isn’t much more than you would usually spend on most gifts and this gift is better than most. You have an opportunity to save our planet. In a time where material things are generally what is most important to people I think if we all became more thoughtful in our gift giving people would be less interested in one more bag or gadget that they will either never use or use for a little while until something new peeks their interest and more interested in useful gifts that won’t sit somewhere and get dusty.
