Hope

So, reading Hints From Heloise in the Washington Post today, I came across this great idea: if you’re not able to adopt one of the millions of puppies and kittens who desperately need a home—puppies and kittens who have been abandoned, abused or are simply without a home—then make one phone call to somebody who maybe can help: a friend, a relative; as Heloise says, anyone who wants to ‘brighten their heart’.

The One Call Saves One Life campaign has been developed by the Little Shelter Animal Rescue & Adoption Center in Huntington, New York, and I went to their web site [Little Shelter] to check them out.

Brilliant!

Little Shelter rescues puppies and kittens, houses them, provides first-rate medical care, finds nice folks to adopt them, and foster homes while they wait. And, failing all else, Little Shelter has a one-hundred acre sanctuary in upstate New York where they provide lifetime care for those puppies and kittens that are too damaged by their experiences to ever find new homes. Because the Little Shelter never, ever kills a puppy or a kitten that comes into their care.

Check the site to discover all of the many different ways you can help. And, meanwhile, you don’t have to live in America to make that One Call that can Save a Life. There are shelters almost everywhere in the world simply bulging with puppies and kittens that need loving homes.

Brighten your heart!
