Supernanny Rules

Tis’ The Season For Giving

by Gayla on December 1st, 2007

As part of a group writing project that’s being hosted by Kate at Babylune that focus on the spirit of giving and charities, I have chosen 1-800-Save-A-Pet. I absolutely love animals, dogs mostly and have three myself. Two of them were rescues. The other was bought from a breeder, but after seeing the living conditions of the dame and sire, I feel as though she were a rescue too.

Several years ago, I volunteered at an animal shelter - during my time there, I witnessed some horrific sites including the tragic loss of life for unwanted pets.

To the best of my knowledge, 1-800-Save-A-Pet is a no kill operation and in my heart, I believe those are the types of rescues that need the most support. Regardless of what happens, the animals come first - they will live, they will have human contact and in most cases, they will experience at least a little love.

My special pets:

Maggie (mama’s princess)

Effie

Rose

If I could afford a bigger home and more land, I’d have hundreds of dogs if I could.

If you know someone who is going to give their child a pet this year, PLEASE urge them to check the rescues. Most times you can find a loving pet that’s already housebroken, trained and ready to love anyone who will love them back - many are aged beyond the chewing and rowdy puppy stages too. It’s a real win-win situation.

Puppies are cute, but giving a puppy at Christmas is the singlemost reason for such an increase in animal shelters after the first of the year.
