Please keep this campaign going! Shelters desperately need funds and Purina ONE is offering up to $500,000 through this Be My Hero promotion. I've pledged, and have asked all of my FB & Twitter friends to pledge too - we have the ability to do something really great here and I'd hate to see the shelters lose out because we didn't do something so simple as 'pass it on' - thank you Martha for your wonderful support and exposure for this worthy cause!!!

PET FOOD PANTRY----

Had a meeting yesterday with directors of human food pantries regarding their national plight during the summer months.

I have an invitation to you involving a national PET FOOD PANTRY where famine is also rampant. This effort will be spearheaded by NCSA at the request of these directors. They also requested that I use my contacts with Ellen, Rachel Ray and Oprah. I pointed out your visibility within the animal industry and will contact you first by Tweet later tonight.

I hope you'll be interested in what I have to say.

Bravo Martha! So many animals adopted from shelters! My Mother in Law works as a Foster Parent for our local animal shelter and she has saved hundreds of puppies from being put to sleep.
It's important to remember that you can find not only a wonderful pet from a shelter, but if you are interested in a pure-bred animal, you can find them at shelters too!

Those who loves things on earth are blessed by sky. I found a great person in you. what I think that care and love shoud be for everyone but living with kids and pets have some adverse affects on behaviour.

I think it is wonderful your support for the dogs and cats. I have rescued a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel several years ago and now have another. I know you love your Frenchies and Chow Chows but Cavs are the BEST.

On Father's Day, we adopted 2 kittens from the shelter. Since then, there have been many trips to the vet for worms and viruses they picked up while there, but we feel so good knowing we saved them from being put down. They're on the mend and have brought so much joy and fun to our home! ♥

We got both of our pets from the local Humane Society. Happy is a terrier mix and the best dog we have ever owned. We just adopted our first cat 3 weeks ago, and Leonard is very much a part of our family. He is a beautiful, loving orange tabby. I will always adopt from the Humane Society!

Hi Martha, Thank you for this fantastic, inspiring suggestion you presented to us. I have always intended to volunteer at an animal shelter but somehow never got around to it. I just finished volunteering online at a pet center right here in Des Moines, WA and should hear from them tommorrow. It's a special no kill center for cats and they adopt out to people who will keep the cats inside. I've never adopted from a shelter, but I did save 2 dogs from uncertain futures. I think I told you about Cricket and Dudley Do Right before. Cricket had 5 wonderful years with me and Dudley Do Right is now 5 doing everything right. I've been thing about getting a playmate for DDR and now is probably a good time to check out the shelters. Thank you so much for sharing those wonderful photos of your adopted pets. I admire you more and more everyday. Jan
