BE A LIFELINE FOR ANIMALS!
The Animal Lifeline of Pittsburgh in Homestead provides assistance to at-risk and homeless animals.
A key program involves volunteers traveling throughout the eastern U. S. to retrieve animals in danger of being euthanized, and those who have been displaced by natural disasters. The animals are transported to safe shelters.
Animal Lifeline has a constant need for food and supplies to care for the rescued animals. On the website, there is a gift registry for selecting items from Walmart, Amazon and Chewy to be delivered directly to the organization.
If you are able to contribute, volunteer, or adopt / foster an animal, visit the website at animallifelinepgh. org.
As John Grogan, author of“ Marley and Me” said,“ A dog doesn’ t care if you’ re rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.” n
