Shelter animals hold a very special place in my heart.

I worked at Pets In Need in Redwood City, CA and when

we lived in Sacramento, CA for several years I was

fortunate enough to provide foster care and volunteer with a

wonderful group of people who rescue shelter cats and

dogs before they are euthanized and find them loving homes.

(Their good work goes on.)

The U.S. continues to suffer from pet overpopulation as

people buy from breeders (accidental or deliberate; backyard or

business breeders) and shelter pets meet sad ends.

So many shelter animals are right now seeking their forever homes,

having come from the streets, from situations that were neglectful

or abusive, from people who decided they could no longer keep

these companion animals for whatever reason. The most wonderful

dogs and cats I’ve ever met were shelter animals.

Black animals are especially maligned simply because of their color. I have personally heard potential adopters curse sweet little black cats, calling them evil, deeming them unworthy of love. Please see the groups below to understand the plight of all animals of all colors. And please support your local shelter with your time, your donation, your compassion.
