Hey Everyone!
I came across this website that I feel extremely necessary to share with everyone. It is called Dogs In Danger, http://www.dogsindanger.com . This site is all about the last chance to save a dogs life before they are euthanized in a shelter. It is very sad but very real, it actually shows you the number of days the dog has before it is put to sleep. It looks like there are few shelters that participate in this program when in actuality thousands of shelters are euthanizing tens of thousands of animals on a daily basis.
I commend the founders of this site and admire their commitment to truley putting forth the maximum effort of saving dogs’ lives!
So please, please forward this site to everyone you know! Please educate people on shelter adoptions vs. pet store purchases! You can be a voice for these poor dogs and animals, please help save them!
Thanks so much for reading!!

A large part of activism is educating others, especially our children who will go on to inherit this world.
Most children have no idea how their daily habits affect animals or how easy it is to change. Kids typically want to be kind to animals but need someone to show them how!
In order to educate your children and others, educate yourself first! Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation is a thorough and easy-to-understand primer on animal rights. You can order it from PETA or you can try a local bookstore or library.
The following books, are also available from PETA:
- 50 Awesome Ways Kids Can Help Animals by PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk—full of fascinating facts and more than 100 fun and easy projects and ideas that show children how they can get active for animals
- Diet for a New America by John Robbins—a moving and well-documented book that describes the inhumane and unhealthy conditions under which animals are raised for food and shows how our health and ecological well-being are linked to the adoption of a vegan diet
What you and your children can do to help stop animal cruelty
Once you are familiar with the issues, share the knowledge! Create fliers, write letters, hold demonstrations, organize an information table at a concert or outdoors event, and encourage others to join you in your efforts to speak out for those who have no voice. Check out PETA.org regularly for updates, factsheets, and answers to “Frequently Asked Questions.”
Together, we can make this world a better place for all living beings….
