Beartha currently is working on a program named Stay Pawsome. Stay Pawsome is a program that fosters animals in shelters. Some people may not know this but some animal shelters are at full capacity and sometimes families have to call months ahead in order to make an appointment. Due to that some people go to extreme measures and may leave their pet at the location, the pet becomes a stray, or the people and the individual lives in the street. Pets are family and shouldn’t be left behind. Between 5% to 10% of homeless people in the United States own pets (mainly dogs and/or cats). Of the 241,117 dogs and cats that entered North Carolina shelters, 170,753 found positive placements, while 47,652 were killed (76% were cats), for a save rate of 70.82%. 25.58% of North Carolina shelters are no-kill (a state is considered to be no-kill when every brick-and-mortar shelter serving and/or located within the state has a save rate of 90% or higher). Beartha wants to help fill in that gap and provide a chance for pets and their parents to find peace and stability. If you are able to donate beartha.org or know someone that would be interested in sponsoring and/or has a rental property that would be great for this program we would greatly appreciate that help. #community #animalshelters #nc #cary #raleigh #durham #wakecounty #durhamcounty

Let's help stray dogs find their forever homes ❤️ Many stray dogs in our communities walk the streets alone, searching for food and shelter. These pups deserve love and care just like any other pet. - Offer food and water: Leaving out a bowl of fresh water and some dog food can make a big difference for a hungry pup. - Provide shelter: If possible, create a makeshift shelter out of cardboard or a blanket to offer them a safe haven. - Spread the word: If you see a friendly stray dog, take a picture and post it on social media with the #FindAFureverHomeForStrays hashtag. This can help connect the dog with a loving family. - Support animal shelters: Shelters play a vital role in rescuing and caring for stray dogs. Consider donating or volunteering your time to a local shelter. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of stray dogs. Let's work towards a world where every dog has a loving home #CompassionForAnimals #StraysDeserveLoveToo #BeTheChange

🌟 Our Journey to Hope: The Birth of Animal Kingdom Inc. 🌟 In 2021, amid the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, our family faced a crisis that tested our resilience. Homelessness forced us into an apartment that didn’t accept pets, and our beloved pitbull, unfairly labeled as aggressive due to her breed, had nowhere to go. The few extended boarding options available came with exorbitant costs of over $500, a sum we simply couldn’t afford given our circumstances. Heartbroken and out of options, we had to surrender her to an animal shelter. This painful experience ignited a mission in us: to create a sanctuary where families in crisis wouldn’t have to choose between their wellbeing and their beloved pets. Animal Kingdom was born from this vision. At Animal Kingdom Inc., we offer: 🏡 Free boarding for families facing temporary hardships, ensuring pets are cared for with love and dignity. 🐾 Acceptance of all domestic animals, from dogs and cats to birds and iguanas. 🤝 Commitment to keeping pets with their families for as long as needed, completely free of charge. 💖 Facilitation of adoptions to find loving, permanent homes when reunification isn’t possible. We wish Animal Kingdom had been there for us when we needed it most. Now, we are here for others, turning our difficult experience into a source of hope and support for families in crisis. Join us in our mission to keep families and their pets together. Follow our journey and support Animal Kingdom Inc. as we make a difference, one paw at a time. #AnimalKingdomInc #Nonprofit #PetSanctuary #FamilyFirst #CommunitySupport #AnimalWelfare #COVID19 #Homelessness #HopeAndSupport

🚨 The Silent Victims of Evictions 🚨 In March 2024, a small group of animal lovers and property management professionals came together to form The Xena Project NTX. Our mission: to rescue and advocate for the countless animals abandoned in apartment homes and communities. As the economy struggles, evictions are skyrocketing, leaving behind not just empty apartments, but countless innocent pets. These animals are left to fend for themselves, abandoned in places they once called home. Their cries for help echo through empty hallways, their once wagging tails now still with fear and confusion. These silent victims suffer from neglect, hunger, and the heartbreak of losing their families. Each abandoned animal is a soul yearning for love and care, a tragic reminder of the unseen consequences of economic hardship. We at The Xena Project NTX are committed to rescuing these forgotten animals, giving them a second chance at life and love. But we can't do it alone. We need your support to continue this crucial work. Every donation, every share, every moment of your time can make a difference. Together, we can be the voice for the voiceless, the hope for the hopeless. Join us in our mission to save these precious lives. Let's ensure that no animal is left behind, no matter the circumstances. #TheXenaProjectNTX #SilentVictims #RescueMission #housingcrisis #EvictionCrisis #AnimalAdvocates #NoAnimalLeftBehind
