There are definitely pros and cons to running your own business, but one of the biggest benefits, to me, is the flexibility to donate my time for worthy causes. Helping animals in need of a good home is definitely a cause that is near and dear to my heart. Our family almost always had a pet around, and it was always a rescue.
Meet Sophia. This sweet girl needs someone who can love her and receive her love in return.....she has a lot to give. Sophia was just a puppy when she came to Homeless Pets Foundation, and although she is very fortunate not to have ended up at a kill shelter, she has been fostered for two years. Her entire young life has been spent seeking a permanent home.
So this week Sophia got a pretty red flower collar and was treated to a special photo shoot to generate some great photos that will hopefully help her find her forever home.
Here's Sophia!
Homeless Pets Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 1998 by Dr. Michael Good, an Atlanta veterinarian who saw a need to create an organization that could assist animal shelters and pet owners in need. In the Atlanta area alone, there are more than 100,000 animals destroyed each year for lack of a home. The Foundation provides critical medical care, food, foster care and comfort to these homeless animals.
Since late in 2002 they have placed nearly 10,000 animals in loving homes. The Homeless Pets Foundation is currently split into three different entities - The Homeless Pets Foundation, Homeless Pet Clubs, and Homeless Pets Transport.
