If your holiday gift giving includes a furry little friend (i.e. dog, cat, rabbit, hamster, horse, guinea pig, or even not so furry-snake, iguana, bird, etc.) please consider pet rescue or adoption. This time of year, homeless animals tend to be overlooked or forgotten. Thousands of healthy, adoptable animals in shelters across the US are put to sleep everyday-mostly because the shelters are overcrowded and cannot hold that many animals at one time.

And if you are breed particular, all you have to do is go to www.Petfinder.com to locate a reputable breed specific rescue group in your area. If you find a pet that you love who happens to be out of your area, always ask the shelter or rescue group about possible pet transportation to your area. As a person who has had rescued dogs and cats my whole life, I can say, the rewards are endless and you are truly saving a life. Happy Holidays!
