Senior Records and Information Management Specialist | Specializing in the creation and restoration of records management systems
I volunteer in animal rescue. Along with fostering, I spend over $2k a year caring for a local colony (not including spay/neuter and vet fees). I am one of many but we can only do so much. Some animals die in abusive homes, some on the streets, and some in shelters. A lucky few are adopted. If you own a business, partner with your local shelters. Cats are great pest control and hey, donations are a tax deduction. Like to be active? Take a shelter dog out for your run. Bake some dog treats. Craft a few toys. Hell, give those carrots you bought for Santa's reindeer to some real, hungry animals. There are more animals in need of homes than there are people wanting to adopt. If you do nothing else, please get your pets fixed and encourage those you know to do the same. You will save so many lives by doing so. #animalwelfare #animalhealth #makeadifference #makeanimpact #foster #adoption #communityengagement #communitydevelopment

10moI love this! Every dog we’ve had has been a rescue and I say we specialize in adopting special needs dogs. Congenitally deaf, traumatized, neglected, starved as a puppy…? You are my dog, and I am your person.
