FREE Financial help in these times for medical care, food, and more!  ;-)

 

"I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man" ~M. Gandhi

 

A lot of people are having a hard time paying their bills, providing food, and getting medical care these days. What is unfortunate is animals are also suffering in this time. More and more people are turning their furry family member over to animal control, and most of them are being killed due to a huge increase in animals they have no room for them. Our pound kills 3 days a week on average and some weeks they're so full that they KILL EVERYDAY!

I found some charities that are set up just for pet owners so they don't have to dump their pets due to no money to care for them. They will help with anything from medical bills to providing food for them. If you call them and they don;t help in your state they will at least be able to provide you with a name and number of a place that does.

Thanks for posting this, I really hope it will prevent somebody from giving up their pet. Personally, I can't think of any reason I'd EVER get rid of my pets though....

Oh, and *bump*!
