Worthy Cause

I'm pretty addicted to Oprah. I tape her show every day thanks to the miracle of DVR. Today she showcased an organization called Angel's Gate which is one of the first known animal hospices of it's kind. Located in Long Island, founder Susan Marino has devoted her life to taking care of more than 200 physically challenged or seriously ill animals that were abandoned, neglected or abused. Many even have severe deformities as a result of puppy mills. 

Needless to say I started bawling over this story as I am a huge dog person and think it's amazing that someone would devote so much time and resources to taking care of these animals. My heart just went out to them. I made a very modest donation (in honor of our own beloved rescue dog, Duke) and encourage you all to do the same. Their funding comes solely from donations.
