Hey Guys!!

As many of you know, raising animals, learning about all thing animals, and rescuing animals, have been a HUGE part of my life since I was 6 years old. I try to do whatever I can to help, any and all of them, as much as possible. I have gone to great lengths and serious measures to rescue as many animals as I can, over the years, because to me animals are worth all the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into doing that. Animals have been the one constant in my life that no matter what, have always had my back and been there for me when things were good, when things got bad, the happy times, and the extreme sad times. They have never judged me, never done anything but be there as my life support and to brighten my day and show we unconditional love. All of my own pets were rescued and came from extremely horrible neglect, physically abusive, and all around horrible conditions. These types of domestic animals rely on humans to look out for them and take care of them with the easiest and most basic things. I can say that with everything I have seen, over the years, the most horrific and horrible, unimaginable things done to these amazing animals at the hands of humans - has truly made me beyond disgusted with mankind now. However, there are AMAZING animals rescues and AMAZING people who, like me, would do ANYTHING for these animals. The Monmouth County SPCA is one of them. I got involved volunteering and working with them since I found out about them in 2012. I have learned of the great lengths everyone at the MCSPCA will go to, to rescue and take care of every single animal that comes in contact with them. They have become a voice for all of the voiceless animals that they help. The MCSPCA has many, many animals, of all ages, under their care; dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, even wildlife and more. If it wasn't for the MCSPCA, most of these animals would be dead or continuing to suffer in the worst possible ways. I wouldn't have never gotten to have my fur babies who I can't imagine life without. So for all that they have done for me and many others, and all that they have done and continue to do, for these animals. I would do anything to support them with whatever they needed to help the most amount of animals possible.... And that now is including walking my ass (w/my 2 yr old and our dogs) around a track for 1 mile, to raise money for them..... And lets be real here, we all know that you couldn't get me to do that, if it was for anything other than saving animals. (Just being honest - lol!!) 

I recently found out that the annual MCSPCA Dog Walk & Pet Fair was coming up again in a few weeks. For the past few years I have been unable to attend, but this year I am finally able to. Jade, myself, and my dog, Lacey (and possibly another one of my dogs, as well) will be participating in this years Dog Walk to raise some money for the Monmouth County SPCA in Eatontown, NJ. So, I am asking you that if you're able to help, please donate on my pledge page. The more pledges I get, the more we can help the animals currently in their care and the many animals in desperate need for rescue and life saving efforts. (And, hey, they even have prizes for the top 3 people who collected the most pledges....just saying - haha!!) Thank you all so much for at least reading this. Below is the link for their website if you'd like to learn more about the MCSPCA, including much more about what they do, and the many ways that you could help.

This a really great cause, so I hope you'll consider donating as one of my pledges for this great organization's Dog Walk fundraiser and Adoption event. Thank you, again.

*Don't shop, Adopt!!*
