Be Kind To Animals
Healing 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."
