In the Cyber Monday madness, it's easy to forget that not everyone is having as good a time of it - especially if they have kids.
Donating toys to a thrift store BEFORE Christmas not only a way to make another kid's holidays happier, it's a great way to help #boycottamazon and #fuckbezos

FYI Petfinder has recently changed policies for searches on out of town pets, which is drastically shifting the abilities of small rescues in Texas to move dogs out of Texas to adopters in other parts of the country. If you've adopted from a small rescue, please amplify their rescue work.

Re-upping this. SEATTLE, WA: this dog needs foster! Sweet 9yo Pyr who is a good family dog. Ignores cats. Was rehomed 2 months ago due to severe family medical issue but the new owners seem to have abandoned. Can anyone take him in? He can’t stay with OP
So like…this Pyrenees was tied up and left outside all day (after having been on the lam for a day or two) and I’d rather feel guilty for taking him to a shelter than think about him being stuck outside all night, so here we are. Locals? Anyone got room for a big sweetie boy?
