the shelter pet project

I saw this sad little cartoon advertisement last night and when I got home later and looked up the website, I knew this was going to be my next post.  First, check out the adorable website for The Shelter Pet Project.   The Shelter Pet Project is a movement to help find homes for great pets.  While you're chuckling at the cute talking animals on the website, also check out the wonderful things they are doing to save animals and ways you can get involved.

Most importantly, anybody thinking about getting a pet PLEASE adopt a shelter pet.

If you're looking for a shelter to support, there are literally thousands all over the country that need your help.  I'd like to give an extra-special shout-out to S.A.V.E., A Friend to Homeless Animals, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit shelter and animal welfare organization dedicated to protecting the health and wellbeing of homeless companion animals in the Greater Princeton, NJ area.  My sister-in-law and her husband adopted their dog, Pepper, a year ago and are still hopelessly and helplessly in love with her.  A tax-deductible contribution to SAVE’s Annual Fund directly supports the care and nurturing of the animals in the shelter, and helps ensure that they can give these dogs and cats a second chance for happiness in a new home.
