33. I know of such a shelter that is supported by a 2nd hand store and it is great

Tue Oct 28, 2025, 10:19 AM

Tuesday

It is in an area of southern AZ where there are LOTS of elderly retirees. When someone passes, it is so good for survivors to have a 'White Elephant' shop that can take a lot of furniture, books and such while helping a great animal shelter. Many local retirees volunteer at the shop, some fixing items up, some running the store, all supporting a great animal shelter. I got my sweet Maisy from that shelter and can say it is the best run shelter I have ever seen.

Many thanks for remembering the kindness shown you and passing it along by keeping pet food with you to share with others in need. What a world we could have if everyone adopted the practice of thoughtful kindness and giving when we can.

May you glory in every sunrise and know gratitude for being able to see each sunset.
