I know it’s a chilling subject, but animal abuse happens everywhere, everyday. It doesn’t matter how rich, poor, nice or mean people are. Animal abusers can be standing next to us in line at the grocery store. Scary thought, right?

I have a list of actions you can take if you suspect animal cruelty.
Save a Life During October for Adopt a Shelter Pet Month!
I have been involved in animal rescue for over 8 years now. Volunteering, fostering, donation coordination – I’ve done it all.

Puppy mill dogs used for breeding are abused, neglected and their offspring come with a slew of health problems. We must work together to shut down puppy mills and stores that support the sale of the puppies.
