About a month ago, I heard about PATRICK, the Miracle Dog on FaceBook. He was a dog that was nearly starved (and so much more). Links to his story is at the bottom of this blog post. This got me to thinking about how some of us are having a hard time putting a meal on our table for our family. We also need to provide for our furry family. Family pets including dogs, cats, horses, and others are being abandoned, starved, or abused because of money is tight, and stressful.
Well, before you say good bye to the family pet due to money concers, here are some connections for our furry family members. Several veterinarians and shelters can help out also.
