A Noah's Wish Reunion
Okay, let me give you a scenario… there is an earthquake (tornado or flood depending on where you live in America) and the authorities knock on your door to for a mandatory evacuation. You have five minutes to grab a few items. Well, guess what? Your beloved pets can’t always go. Can you imagine looking into your pets eyes and leaving them behind only hoping that they make it? Devastating… I know. HOWEVER, I recently found an organization that deals with this exact scenario among countless other rescue efforts due to natural disasters. They are called Noah’s Wish and they have been around since 2002 aiding in almost every natural disaster this country has seen since. Their trained volunteers and staff swoop in and rescue your pets who have been left behind or lost. Whether it be your dog or cat or your farm animals, which in this case can also be your family’s source of income, Noah’s Wish foundation understands that it’s not just a human life that natural disasters impact, it’s all living things…. As a dog owner and animal rights advocate I support this cause, because it’s not just chic… it’s humane! Please take a moment to recognize the efforts this foundation puts forward to help everyday people like us keep our WHOLE families together on a strictly volunteer and personally funded resources! If you are interested in learning more or even want to volunteer in your local region, Please visit Noah’s Wish website HERE.

How cool!! Thanks for telling us about it Johnny!! xoxo
Thanks for spreading the word about the importance of caring for pets in disasters. I am a regional coordinator for Noah’s Wish, and if people don’t know we’re there they won’t know they can ask for help. Our 2010 volunteer training schedule is on the website, so if anyone is interested in joining the team please check it out.
