| Re: YOU - helping animals! I think this is a great thread and I would like to thank everyone here for their hard work and dedication to improving the lives of animals. Some of the things I do to help is donate to local shelters and rescues, I foster Guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, chinchillas, and other small animals. I also adopted/rescued all my pets. I have traveled as far as Canada to adopt Guinea pigs and ratties. I avoid supporting pet stores and buy my supplies from feed stores or online. I educate people on the importance of adoption vs. buying from petstores. I do not breed any animal, there are way too many animals in need of homes and I refuse to add to the over population problem. All my animals adopted, fosters or rescues get the same love and respect they deserve. |
