People that know me know I’m a huge fan of taking care of animals in any way, shape, or form that you can. I have 2 cats and I have a dog that I’ve been taking care of for such a long time now and I’m super happy about that. So, I would encourage anyone that wants to foster, adopt, or donate a couple of hours of volunteer work to an animal shelter nearby you. Or even donate a pound of food. You’ll be super, super happy after you’ve done that.
