Remember pets, no-kill shelters
I write with a plea to your readers to support no-kill animal shelters. They do all they can to help “man’s best friend” on limited funds unless citizens budget what they can on a regular basis. “Man’s best friend” is helpless unless humans, often at financial sacrifices to themselves, support their daily needs.
Since forever, they have been eyes for the blind, arms and legs for the paralyzed, and aid and comfort for those alone or in grief. Many today are thought of, not as animals, but as four-legged children. Sometimes family members neglect other family members, but that four-legged child will never cause you to have anything but pure love.
This old vet’s widow writes on behalf of these wonderful beings who are totally helpless but for human help. Please don’t forget how much they need our love and daily care. I pray the recent McKamey rewards of $500 in an animal cruelty case got results. In your will, please remember those who do all they can to help these helpless creatures who have been beyond a blessing to us.
