Giving Thanks

Someone recently shared a joke with me. As a person running a non-profit dedicate to saving animals, they thought I'd get a kick out of it. Here is is:

What's the definition of unconditional love?  Lock your significant other and your dog in your car trunk for an hour. When you open it, see who is genuinely happy to see you - and who's not quite as thrilled!

While it's definitely a joke (please don't try this at home), there is a truth behind the humor. Our pets bring us comfort, companionship, and yes, an endless supply of unconditional love. I'm sure many of you can relate.

One of the things I love about my job is that every time we save a pet's life, we're also saving a family. The bond between a pet and their person is truly special - often one of the strongest connections in a person's life. We are so grateful for the families and animals we've been able to help this year, and we know that many more will need our support in the year to come. We're here for them.

Wishing you and your loved ones, both human and furry, a Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. Just to be clear, this is a joke - don't try it at home!!
