HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! We at Companions for Life have a lot to give thanks for this year, even as we continue to fight for a more compassionate world with no more disposable pets.

A short list of some things we're giving thanks for today:

  • The passing of new Dallas City Animal Ordinances that we hope will help Dallas residents be more responsible pet owners and ultimately reduce chronic shelter overcrowding.
  • The ongoing dedication of compassionate people in our shelters who keep going in spite of all the challenges, working to save animals and provide committed and loving homes for unwanted pets.
  • Our passionate volunteers who pitch in wherever needed to help drive initiatives like humane education, shelter outreach and legislative change.
  • Everyone who has donated time or money to help us continue our work - thank you!
  • All the responsible pet owners out there who understand that pets are part of the family, to be loved and appropriately cared for.

Yes, there is darkness and cruelty in the world - but with people like you, there are slivers of light and silver linings! Every animal you help, or that we can help with your support, is one more ray of hope and light to fight the darkness.

Have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
