I know that we all love animals and want to do what we can to help, but sometimes feel overwelmed by all the animals that need our help. If you are woundering what you can do to help where you are there are several things that you can do. First look at volunteering at a local shelter. The more people spend time helping the shelter to socialize the animals in there care, and the more people are willing to become foster parents to an animal in need the less likly that an animal at a shelter has to be PTS, and the more likly that animal will get a forever home. Next there is an agency conected with United Animal Nation that needs disaster volunteers through their EARS program to help save peoples pets when a disaster strikes an area. To Find out more; enter United Animal Nation in your search engin on the computer and follow the link to EARS. I took the training and am now a volunteer. It is the best thing I could do. It was a real eye-opener. The final and best thing you can do to help animals in your area is to start a fund raising project to help all get their pets spayed and nutered. While most of us would never own a pet without being able to spay or nuter it, their are those who have the money and love to be able to feed and love their pets; but because of tough ecconomic times may not be able to fix the pet they love or get it its shots. This is where donations that go for programs like this through the local humane society will help. So have a bake sale or an Ice Tea stand on a hot weekend can help raise money for this. Get creative, and Get active to help all the animals in your area. This is how you can help. We can't save them all, but we can try.

re: global warming... its not a hoax that is melting the polar ice caps NOW, its the warming of the planet! Its not even a debate among scientists anymore. Not many people even realize that even ONE degree rise in the temp. of the ocean or other ecosystem is enough to destroy it or wipe out species.

Please, everyone spread the word about this! The Sago Palm plant is very toxic to cats. Cats love to eat plants, but this plant they can't have. 75% of cats that eat the plant lose their lives. The ASPCA has a poison control number- it's (888) 426-4435 Repeat:(888)426-4435 Please, if you have one of these plants, do not let your cats eat it. If you don't have cats or these plants, just help me spread the word.

Yeah, to the idiot that posted the total crap about Global warming being is a hoax. The debate in the scientific community is not raging. Get your facts before you spew lies. After 8 years of the Bush regime, we are all tired of the bullshit. And why are you posting on an animal web site this mindless propaganda anyway?

Gobal Warming is a fact, not a hoax:
see these links for more info:
http://wecansolveit.org/content/faq/
Scientists are clear: human activities are contributing to global warming by adding large amounts of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere. Our fossil fuel use is the main source of these gases. Every time we drive a car, use electricity from coal-fired power plants, or heat our homes with oil or natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the air. The second most important addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere is related to deforestation, mainly in the tropics, as well as other land-use changes.
The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is now 380 parts-per-million (ppm), 100 ppm higher than at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. But we can look back even further. By drilling into the deepest glacial ice we can measure CO2 deep into time. And this ice library shows more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than at any time in last 650,000 years.

What it is, how it's caused, and what needs to be done to stop it.

Hi friends!!! i'm writing this because i want people from USA 2 see what happens in Romania with animals. On this website is a movie with some horses left 2 die of dehydration. They were left on a piece of land and after they died no one cared. Some kids saw them and called the police. They do nothing about it. They are trying 2 find out who’s guilty but I’m sure that even if they find out the owner will get just a fine( as usually) ….and this is only if we get lucky. This makes me so mad!!! :( I just can’t understand how some people can abandon some animals on a field. They need us 4 food, water, shelter, love and protection.
Just check the link 4 me and click on the box where it says VIDEO ( is a website in romanian ) :

I am sure most of you know this, and perhaps do it . . . but for those of you who sell on Ebay - you can specify that a certain percentage of the sell goes to a charity. I give 10% to the ASPCA. Just another small way to help and we all know that every penny counts towards saving another life.

You have a cat that is indoors only, and you are worried about your dog, who is outdoors in the heat, and you want to know what to do for him? DUH...KEEP HIM INDOORS, WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER, LIKE YOU DO FOR YOUR CAT! DUH...
