Painful Truth . org News They die waiting for someone to save them…

Holidays….

It is hard for me to not think about all the homeless animals out there in shelters that are waiting for homes this time of year. Many just have a concrete slab to sleep on, no blanket, no stuffed animal to cuddle with. They are not in a comfortable place. Shelter life is so hard on animals and many sit and just die waiting. You can see the heartache in their eyes.  We sit around with family in comfort, many of us have companion animals of our own that we snuggle and talk to. We enjoy them. I am asking you to think about the homeless animals and do one of the following at least... the more the better.

• Take at least one bag of dog food or cat food to your local shelter.
• Take in old towels and blankets to your local shelter.
• Take old stuffed animals in to your local shelter for some comfort.
• Sign up to be a volunteer at your local shelter.
• Sign up to be a foster home for your local shelter.
• Offer to take a dog or cat home for Christmas Vacation to get a break from the shelter.
• Grab a death row dog or cat and just give them that extra time they need by opening up your home.
• Donate money to your local shelter.

These are just some simple things that have such a large impact and yet none of them cost that much. There is a lot of help out there but not enough. There are so many animal lovers that can make such a huge difference if you just try. Just one thing is all I ask, Just one.
