Animals comfort us and put us in touch with what really matters.  ~Mark Bekoff

Our pets never lie about love.

Please spay or neuter your pets and any other weird friends or relatives.

When loved ones

come home

always run to greet them.

Heaven is where you meet every pet you've ever loved.

We love them.

They love us.

Dogs have masters

Cats have staff

Horses have servants

Please Adopt.

Lives

depend on it.

“The animal shall not be measured by man.  In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear.  They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.”          

                            ~ Henry Beston

Life in any form is our perpetual responsibility.

                                                      ~Dr. SP Cadman

Learn from yesterday.

Live for today.

Look to tomorrow.

Rest this afternoon.

                   ~Charles Schulz

I care not for a person's religion whose dog or cat are not the better for it.

                                   ~Abraham Lincoln

We be of one blood, ye and I...   ~Rudyard Kipling

                       

Who is cruel to animals is hard also in his dealings with people.  We can judge the heart of a person by his treatment of animals.        

~Immanuel Kant                     

It is just like man's vanity

and impertinence to call

an animal dumb because

it is dumb to his dull perceptions.

                                         ~Mark Twain

Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.   ~John Muir

             

The animals of the world exist for their own reasons.  They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men.  ~Alice Walker

            

Recycle a life.

Adopt.

Every human and living creature has the sacred right to the gladness of Spring.

                         ~Leo Tolstoy

You can't save every pet in the shelter.

Just this one.

Animals

are not edibles.

To the world you are nothing.  To your pet, you are the world.

Your pet's eyes have the power to speak a great language.

          ~Martin Buber

You enter into a certain amount of madness when you marry a person with pets.     ~Nora Ephron

        

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

                                   ~D Barry

We lavish on pets the love we are afraid to show other people.  They might not return it.

Or worse, they might.  ~D Barry

                                 

He will be our friend for always and always and always.

          ~Rudyard Kipling

Oh, the joy-dance of present moment living.

          ~K Lewis

The happiest of pets don't necessarily have the best of everything.  They just make the most of everything that comes their way.

Our pets give us perfect communion, symbiosis, love unconditional, attention unwavering and companionship without question or criticism.

                   ~Anna Quindlen

Some friends are forever.

The love of an animal permits us to unfold, to open up, to drop our defenses, and to be naked.  With them, we let ourselves be seen instead of hiding behind our personalities and cultures, our jobs, clothing and makeup.  They know us as no one else does, in our joys and rages, in our despair, sickness and health, an unwavering love.  If there is such a thing as a soul mate, then surely this is it.   ~ S Callahan

With ethical conduct toward all creatures, we enter into a spiritual relationship with the universe.

             ~ Albert Schweitzer
