Welcome and purpose

Let’s offer our gratitude to those who labor tirelessly to protect and care for our worlds’ animals.
 
Welcome,
 
This blog is to honor those who work in animal adoption and rescue organizations by highlighting and sharing what they do through their organizations to help the many animals in our world. Besides the well known and far-reaching animal organizations, there are also many small operations that serve to protect and care for animals.

This blog is an exploration of organizations, large and small. I don’t know about you but, while I do have some knowledge of the work of the larger organizations like the Humane Society of the United States,  IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare), ASPCA (The American Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals), and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals).  I do not have much awareness of the countless little groups here and there that also devote much time and resources to care for specific types of animals i.e. wolves, horses, injured birds, etc. This blog will explore and speak to the work of many organizations.
 
I look forward to learning a lot in the weeks ahead. I invite those of you who know about organizations that serve animals, to please let me know about them (maybe providing a website address if you can) and/or by making an entry in this blog. I look forward to hearing from you.
 
With blessings, Linda
