The Details:

Welcome! This blog was created to make it easy for everyone to donate. Here you'll find all the info./details you need to make your donation. This event is for the dogs and cats at the local animal shelters - collecting blankets, beds, dog sweaters, towels, treats and toys. They are greatly needed! All donations will go to local shelters in the Orange County, Los Angeles and Riverside area.


The Facts:

Most shelters have outside kennels with NO blankets or beds, dogs sleep on cold cement! It's so cold at night! There are approximately 100 tiny/small/medium dogs at each shelter at any given time, plus all the large dogs, and the cats. For those who know me, you know that i am very involved in animal rescue, have a huge love for animals, and have many friends involved in rescue as well. We see first hand how too many animals suffer in shelters. They're all innocent, beautiful, loving dogs and cats being punished for no reason, stuck in "jail" - many dumped by their owners, many never escape the shelter alive, many never find a loving forever home. Times are NOT good in animal rescue, especially in shelters, it's extremely sad and the situation is getting worse. I ask you to remember that we are ALL ONE, we are all connected. Now more then ever i ask you to please give from your heart, be love, and think of those that need us. The animals need our help!!

One last thing...too many animals are being killed in shelters on a daily basis. LA animal statistics just came out, here are the facts - 10,640 dogs/cats killed in the last three months, including puppies/kittens, and that's in LA county only! We can all make a difference...

- ADOPT DON'T SHOP! SAVE A LIFE!
- DO NOT BUY FROM BREEDERS OR PET STORES!
- SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS!
