GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

It’s Christmas time.


The world becomes covered in pine boughs, garlands, red satin bows and bells. Our minds are overtaken with a new appreciation for family and friends, and we bask in our memories of Christmas past and better times. Homes become more welcoming, hearts become warmer, and spirits seem lighter. We all hope that somewhere, somehow, that man kinds prayers will be answered and that our longing for peace on Earth might actually become a reality.

At your local pound, there is a different longing.

In the lines of kennels that fill Animal Control buildings throughout the United States, dogs and cats of all shapes, colors and sizes sit in silence. None of them understand why they are here, what they did wrong, or how it all came to this. If you look into their eyes, you see the tag which has been stamped on their already broken hearts: abandoned, stray, unwanted, surrendered. They are all but forgotten by the humans that they loved, the evidence of their life in a place they once called home long since erased.

None are immune. Among these sad and sober faces of mutts and unwanted felines are also those of pure breed and proud lineage. Siamese, Persian, Exotic, Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Yorkies, Jack Russell’s: they are all present and accounted for in a placed where breed and culture mean absolutely, positively nothing. Here in the silent darkness, where hope, love, and comfort are overshadowed by fear, loneliness, and despair, they are all of one kind: lost.

For many who occupy these kennels and cages, the final stroke of a pen and the prick of a needle will wipe away the last proof that they were even here at all.

Here the purest and most loyal hearts ever created count away the hours to the end of their existence. A bombardment of prayer more sincere than most anything human, pummels Heaven repeatedly with one pleading request:

“Please God, Please let me live.”

When you read this, did God speak to your heart? Did he tell you to be the answer to one of those prayers? Will you listen? Their lives are depending on your giving them your full attention, and saving them.

Help answer these prayers and give the Christmas story of a dog or cat facing destruction a happy ending. Let the joy and love of God and Christmas live in your home year round by sharing your life with one of these broken hearts who need you so desperately. COMMIT TO A LIFE TIME relationship with an animal who will be the most loyal, loving friend you will ever have on Earth.
The clock is ticking THEIR lives away--ADOPT OR FOSTER from your local Animal Control and change the existence of one of these dogs or cats FUREVER.
 In doing this, you give the greatest gift in existence: life.
