The GFWC Antelope-North County Women’s Club wants you to check out the www.theshelterpetproject.org web site. This is a place where you can find any type of animal to adopt, right here in our area. The "talking animals" help you navigate the web site while making you laugh. You can put in your zip code and find animals in our neighborhood. This project also has the cutest ads. If you go to YouTube and put shelter pet project in the search field, you will find three ads made to help you think about adopting a shelter pet. The objective of this project is to make your first choice in a new pet be a pet from a shelter. These ads are very funny and entertaining while getting their message across.
This project is from the US Humane Society, the Ad Council and another animal site called Maddie’s Fund. We all know about the US Humane Society, but have you checked them out recently? They also have a great newsletter for children called KIND NEWS. It helps teach kids to be kind to animals. Our club wants to buy a subscription of 28 newsletters and a teacher’s guide for classrooms in our area, just let us know the name of the school, teachers name and address. If your a teacher in the area and would like a subscription for your class please call Dori we will be happy to help to send KIND NEWS your way. The Ad Council wants to help with the problem of unwanted pets in the US. Maddie was a beloved Miniature Schnauzer whose unconditional love, devotion, loyalty and spirit inspired her caregivers to start a charitable foundation, Maddie's Fund®, in her name.
