Two summers ago I was able to visit India, my home country, to learn dance from my teacher's Guru and perform at over 7 prestigious events in a two week time period. The trip was amazing except for one fact... witnessing the countless stray animals barely living in the streets. I was heartbroken and did as much as I could when I was there, giving them my food and finding some extra food for their family. However, I couldn't do much more as I was leaving in a month.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with more than 1.8 million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and other "pests," and the abuse of backyard dogs.

Each month we volunteer at the Richmond SPCA. We do anything and everything, from helping out with the laundry to helping to socialize puppies. Volunteers also collect towels, leashes, collars and toys for the animals. We also bake dog cookies to the shelter animals as a special treat. During our Family Fun Day in April we have the SPCA come out with their adoption mobile and try to find homes for the dogs and cats. We also use a portion of the money raised through our Family Fun Day to help support the Richmond SPCA.

One day I had come from school and stopped by my friends house. When I left, I saw an abandoned little shed and I checked to go see what was in it. I was a little puppy in there and it looked scared. It was also alone and It looked hurt. Without being scared, I picked up the puppy and it was whimpering. it must have been scared not being used to humans. I took it to the closest shelter I could find. They were going to give it medical care. I was there during the whole process to make sure that he was alright. He had some troubles with his insides is what I figured out from the veterinarians.

I am with Lucky Puppy Rescue located in Denham Springs
La. The goal of our group is to take in sick and abandoned dogs and cats to heal them and find them loving forever homes. There are so many abuse and neglect cases here in our city and even more right outside out city limits. The shelter here in Denham Springs does not take animals outside of the city limits so there is a great need volunteers and funding. We are a small group of people and have been working so hard to change this problem. Spaying and neutering is our best way to slow down the number of unwanted animals.

I am a 14 year old girl with a huge love of animals. In the past three years, I have convinced my parents to help me rescue animals. We currently have 8 pets we have rescued! (4 cats, 2 rats, a bunny, and a guinea pig). We are now trying to open an animal rescue for all those little critters who need our help!

I'd like to help and support the freedom of animals, who are kept locked up and are being used for testing. They deserve to have freedom and live like us humans. No one, and i mean no one would love to be put in a cage and be poisoned with medication and items that don't belong on animals. If one or more can stand up then we can shut these businesses down.

While there are so many people and projects in need, I would like to take a moment to tell you about my project to benefit the Animal Shelter of Schoharie Valley. I have been volunteering at the Animal Shelter of Schoharie Valley in Howes Cave, New York for the past nine years. In that time I have seen wonderful dogs find wonderful homes; however, I have also seen wonderful dogs wait years to find their forever home. In my time at the shelter I have fostered and found homes for over thirty dogs and two cats.
