Thanks, Steno, for letting us know about Jake's story. I have almost given up looking at rescue sites because I get so upset. Seeing one deserving animal at a time lets me help a bit without getting overwhelmed by their sadness and pain. Sometimes I'm such a wimp!

One of the best lessons I've learned here at PetTalk is that we can all contribute SOMETHING! Some of our members are so active every day with homeless or hurting animals. Others use their love and care for pets at home to demonstrate just what it means to truly respect life.

Whether we give money or time or emotional support or practical tips or humor or just plain love, we can all make our world, and our pet's world, better.
