What you Can do Today to Help Animals. BE THE CHANGE.

Our motto is:

BE THE CHANGE.  YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

 

 

What on small thing can you do today and every day to help animals?  It isn't a trick question.  I know I could list and list and list things you can do to make life better for animals.

 

But today and every day one thing you can do is find a charity, foundation, website that focuses on animal rights and care.  The Animal Rescue site routinely has a Shelter Challenge.  Based on votes shelters and rescue groups can be granted money or supplies. You can ask to be sent reminder emails every day for both the shelter challenge and the click to give food.

 

So easy and every click makes a difference.

 

 

BE THE CHANGE.  YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dog Rescue Organizations, NMDR - Be the Change. You Make A Difference.

National Mill Dog Rescue - NMDR - Saving dogs from puppy mills.

The inspiration for NMDR is Lily. An Italian Greyhound auctioned off by a puppy mill. On that day over 200 dogs were 'auctioned'.  A volunteer Teresa Strader came to help with the 29 Italian Greyhounds. She rescued Lily and made her part of the family.  For the last year and 1/2 of her life, Lily was loved.

Lily's story is not recent. But her story is compelling, heartbreaking and hopeful. The message is you can make a difference. Donate. Foster. Adopt. Educate. Do something. 

Watch the video below and say a prayer. Remember - Be the Change. You Make A Difference.

Sweet Lily had never been outside of a cage. Her mouth, both bottom and top was rotted from no vet care, no care.

Strange Animal Group Names

Where do these names come from? I just wanted to share some unusual animal names. Some make sense but others are baffling.

 

 1.       Apes or Chimpanzees – A Shrewdness

2.       Bats – A Colony though some sources say A Cauldron

3.       Cats – A Clowder or A Pounce

4.       Dogs – A Pack

5.       Donkeys/Asses – A Pace

6.       Ferrets – A Business

7.       Hippos – A Bloat

8.       Giraffes – A Tower

9.       Jaguars – A Shadow

10.   Lemurs – A Conspiracy

11.   Otters – A Romp

12.   Porcupines – A Prickle

13.   Squirrels – A Scurry

There are HERDS: Buffalo, Cattle, Deer, Elephants, Seals, Sheep, Whales.

Buffalo can also be called a Gang along with Elk and Turkeys. Strange pairing.

Quails and Swans can be called a Covey as a Deer can be a herd or covey.

And finally it should come as no surprise that Cockroaches are called An Intrusion.
