MY MOM ASKED IF SHE COULD SHARE HER POEM THAT SHE WROTE FOR HER LOVE OF ALL DOGS. I TOLD HER TO SPREAD THE WORD!

For The Love of a Shelter Dog 

 By: SQ

 I am a shelter dog who watches you walk by,

I wag my tail and hope that you will give me a try.

 You see, I am not a bad dog who deserved to be left here,

Unfortunately, it is just that no one wanted me near.

 I may be young, or I may be old,

I may be shy, or I may be bold.

 I may have been neglected or hurt in some way,

But I carry no grudge for I live in the moment each day.

 I feel as though I have been here for so long,

Please take me to your home, for with you I belong.

 I promise to guard you and keep you safe,

If only you would have a little faith.

 I will work to be good and love you so much,

For I truly need your gentle touch.

 Please don’t walk away and leave me behind,

Adopt me today for it would truly be kind.

 

TILL NEXT TIME, IT'S PAWS UP AND HIGH FIVE!

INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL RIGHT DAY

 

 

HI GUYS, 🐾

TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY AND MY MOM ASKED ME IF IT WAS ALRIGHT TO POST HER ARTICLE THAT SHE WROTE FOR THIS DAY. I TOLD HER THAT I AM HAPPY SHE WROTE THIS PIECE, AS ALL OF US ANIMALS DESERVE TO BE TREATED WITH KINDNESS AND LOVE. SO HERE IT IS.....YOU GO MOM!

DECEMBER 10^TH – INTERATIONAL ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY

Saturday December 10^th is International Animal Rights Day. This holiday is shared with Human Rights Day, as animals have the same right to be treated with respect, and acts of cruelty are just as wrong against them as it is humans. Animals have been mistreated and killed for hundreds of years for various reasons, whether for food, fashion, research, or the idea that it is out of necessity.

The history of International Animal Rights Day is linked with Human Rights Day, which was started on December 10, 1948, when the United Nations passed the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”. This was created because of the war crimes perpetuated against innocent human beings in the concentration camps in Nazi Germany during World War II. Afterwards, individuals, organizations, and associations, began demanding that this declaration of December 10^th, should also apply to the animal kingdom as a way of advocating the rights of animals who cannot defend themselves.

 By 1970, these rights were coined as “speciesism” as a way of promoting and encouraging a dialogue on the discrimination against animals. But it wasn’t until 1998, that an official statement was passed for animal rights. An animal protection organization by the name of “Uncaged” created International Animal Right Day to bring to our attention all types of violence against animals. Their belief is that animals cannot vote, protest, or advocate for their own protection, therefore it is our responsibility to do it for them. As a result, International Animal Rights Day is recognized each year on December 10^th, the same day as Human Rights Day. So, please remember as humans we have rights, but so do all the animals that we share our world with and there are no justifications for animal abuse or exploitation. (By: SQ)

DECEMBER 1ST - 24TH IS OPERATION SANTA PAWS!

 

HI GUYS, 🐾

MY MOM ASKED ME IF I WOULD SHARE HER STORY THAT SHE WROTE FOR OUR LOCAL PAPER FOR THEIR DECEMBER ISSUE. PLEASE KEEP IN YOUR HEARTS ALL THOSE ANIMALS THAT DO NOT HAVE A LOVING HOME THIS HOLIDAY.  

Operation Santa Paws December 1^st - 24^th

[Source: https://nationaltoday.com/operation-santa-paws/]

"The holidays are a time for giving as we celebrate it with our family and friends. But let’s not forget our furry friends in the shelters and rescue centers. Operation Santa Paws, which is held from December 1^st to the 24^th each year, gives us the opportunity share the gift of giving and show our love for the shelter pets. Justin Rudd, who was inspired by his love for animals, started Operation Santa Paws in 2001. It began in Long Beach California but has since spread across our country and other countries and cities such as Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. His intention was to call upon all animal lovers to donate food, blankets, treats, toys, supplies and money, to help stock the shelters with much needed items. But more importantly it shows our love and compassion for those animals who do not have an opportunity to be loved or cared for, especially during the holiday season.

Sadly, statistics show that roughly 7.6 million companion animals such as cats, dogs and other domestic pets enter the shelters across our country each year. It is heartbreaking to know that these animals are there through no fault of their own. Many of them are either neglected, abused, or abandoned and though many are adopted, several will live out their lives in cages. But all deserve a loving forever home. Pets can play an important role in our lives, they give us unconditional love, they are our companions through good times and bad, and they can have an important role as a therapy/service animal. Pets are our family, and they leave an indelible mark on our hearts.

During Operation Santa Paws this December let’s give back to those less fortunate pets. We can start by donating needed supplies or money to our local shelters and rescues organizations. Organize a donation drive as many shelters post their wish list on their websites. You can donate your time by volunteering at a local shelter as they are often understaffed. Or you can foster or adopt, giving that pet a much-needed home. This is the season of giving, so please open your hearts and give to the pets in our shelter and rescues. Remember, “The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man” ~ Charles Darwin. Happy holidays!"
