Data, Lily and Eddy. These 3 babies were products of today's featured charity. All 3 are cats and thanks to the love, care and dedication of the ASPCA, had a loving, warm home and a furever place in the heart of my bride and myself for just a few short years.
I also cannot forget my dog Lassie whom I owned before I met my wife!
I know that the ASPCA has had some controversy in the past with the culling of animals. But I also know that this is the exception- not the rule. Yes, unfortunately, there are some animals that are so abused, malnourished and mistreated that it's not possible to rehabilitate. But there are now hundreds of charities out there that cater to the fostering of pets that the ASPCA works in cooperation with those organizations to give every possible animal a chance at a happy home. Plus our local shelters will cut adoption fees to nearly $0 to get the animals into a forever home so that when they get overcrowded, they don't have to put them to sleep.
Yes- my family supports the ASPCA- warts and all. We love them so much that we've covered adoption fees for other kitties so that other families can experience the joy of adopting a fur baby of there own! Heck, we'd continue to adopt from the ASPCA if we didn't keep getting strays showing up on our door. But thankfully, that's meant we've been blessed to keep them rather than have to take them to the shelter and add to the shelter's already overflowing levels of capacity.

If helping our four legged friends find a furever home, you can do more than just donate here; or check out a huge database of kitties and puppies needing adoption. But don't overlook the shy guys, the veterans who have been there a long time, the re-homes whose owners passed away or gave up on them or those with injuries or illnesses. We've adopted a wide arrange of kitties with special needs and have enjoyed our years with them!
And now, today's Advent present. I've got the perfect choice to fit today's charity. If you haven't figured it out by now, you either aren't old enough to remember OR you've blocked it from your memory. That's because today's song is one that has been a perennial worst of list entry since it debuted way back in 1985. And not just for the worst Christmas song but one of the worst songs of all time. It's the all-barking version of Jingle Bells by the Pound Puppies from Tonka!
It's only 3 minutes long. Hope you might enjoy...
