It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "feed an animal in need" for free. This doesn't cost you a thing.

Be Kind To AnimalsHealing does come with loving. Not only for us, but for the precious pets. Please adopt from your local animal shelter. Owning a pet is a responsibility that should not be taken lightly. Neglect to meet a pet’s basic needs—including food, water, shelter and medical care—is a crime recognized by an ever-growing number of jurisdictions across the nation. If you know of an animal whose health is being compromised by neglect, please report it to your local authorities.  "Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight." ~Albert Schweitzer  | ||||||||||||||||
