I work with animal rescues. Yes that would be plural.  Working with animals and/or having one can be beneficial to one’s well being.  Which is why I promote animal shelter’s from time to time.  I am however going to change things up and add a new page called animal crackers to NAYOP blog site.

I feel that it’s extremely important to ADOPT *not* shop.  Puppies and kittens are indeed adorable but just like children, they do grow up and their needs change.

So each month I will choose a rescue at random and focus on the harder to place animals.  Some clearly get adopted faster/easier than others and I think that they all deserve a home.  Please don’t dump your animal outside thinking that it can fend for itself!  You have no idea how traumatizing it is to see a stray in your neighborhood gasping for it’s few last breaths on the side of a busy street on your way to work in the morning.

I didn’t even realize that ‘creamsicle’ was a stray until I seen how dirty she/he was.  That poor cat was someone’s pet at one point.  Someone clearly didn’t want to take them along with their move and a no pets policy is NOT an excuse!  So please don’t be ignorant.  Educate yourself!
