Compassion Tip

Animal Friends is transforming the month of May into “31 Days of Compassion.” The month will be devoted to raising awareness of homeless animals in our community, supporting programs that work to reduce pet overpopulation and abuse, and celebrating the many ways pets enrich our lives. We are asking everyone – “What has an animal done for you lately?” It’s time to return the favor. And at Animal Friends, we have a month’s worth of ideas!
