Remember Me Thursday: Shining the light on pet adoption


 I first heard of Remember Me Thursday back in 2013. It is a campaign by the Helen Woodward Animal Center to shine the light on pet adoption (#seethelight)

Remember me Thursday

I will admit I was a little confused by the campaign in the past, as they use candles as part of their logos; to me, that means you are honoring those that have passed on, not those here waiting for homes, but they really want to bring light to animals waiting for their people. 

This year they are having a contest to get people to share their pet's rescue story to show others that rescue pets are wonderful pets. The goal is to get people to go to rescues and shelters and not pet stores or back yard breeders. 

On Thursday I will share the story of Fleurp, of the challenges and joys she has brought to our lives, and the lessons she has taught me. 

I hope you take a moment this Thursday, September 24th, 2020 to take a moment and share your light about adoption. Talk to a friend about the joy of a rescue pet, Share something on social media about the horrors of pet mills. Share what inspires you about pet adoption.  If you are so inspired, enter the contest and tell the world about your rescue story

  4. I love Remember Me Thursday. I knew a special shelter kitty that didn't get to have a forever home. I tried to give him so much love that it didn't matter. 💜
