Animal Care for Artists
Posted: August 30th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Dog Health | Tags: art, dog, dogs, los angeles dog rescue, video |It’s been way too long, I know, since I’ve last blogged, but wow it’s been a busy month here in NYC working on the upcoming New York Video Voter Guide. I have been a little better about keeping up with my Facebook status and posting dogs in need. And I thank all of you who have helped with my latest posted pooches.
In doing some poking around online today, I found a very cool project that I think deserves some support, it’s called Animal Care for Artists and its mission is to assist low income individuals, employed in the arts, in covering the cost of medical care for their animal companions.
Animal Care for Artists
In our “new” economy (read crappy economy) anything we can do to stop more sick animals ending up in shelters the better. Helping people who otherwise might not be able to afford proper care for their animals ultimately helps alleviate pressure on the already-overburdened shelter system.

What’s also interesting is how this group is going about fund-raising. I found them on a site called Kickstarter which is a supercool portal built for funding creative projects of all sorts. According to the Kickstarter site:”We love artists, writers, designers (of all kinds!), filmmakers, musicians, journalists, athletes, adventurers, inventors, bloggers, illustrators, explorers, curators, promoters, performers, and others.”
So check out Animal Care for Artist and Kickstarter.com and consider making a donation to this group get up and running!

This was one of the most beautiful and most truthful commentary I have ever heard on TV. I have shared my life with pets since I was born and understand this relationship I have had and still have is sincerely the best relationships in my life. With many stresses of my life (including the loss of my 22 year old son) it was always to my dogs that I turned to. They understand pain and anguish and their sitting next tome, or sharing my pillow, allows me to look into the eyes that deeply love me, that will not be angry when I have been ill and cannot take them for long walks, nor when I can’t take them in the car with me. I love to sit and watch my miniature Dachshund sleep so comfortably and secure - and my standard Dachshund sprawls all over the bed and dreams of eating (a guess). I have never purchased an animal - gladly adopting them from our local shelter. My favorite saying has been for years - To know that I have caused a frightened, lonely animal to have comfort, love and peace, I believe everything in my life has been worth it and I can leave this earth knowing I have pleased God.
