Responsibility for Animals

Sponsor a Species

I love to help animal charities by "adopting" an animal. So far I have adopted a dog called Sam from the Dogs Trust (you basically sponsor a dog that can't be "re-homed" but will be looked after by the Trust for the rest of their life--they never put a healthy dog, no matter what its problems, to sleep), a horse called Will Scarlett who is a retired police horse at a local horse sanctuary, and I also sponsor a trainee guide dog called Megan.

Today I got a leaflet from the WWF about the species that most need our help and you can adopt one of them for as little as 3 ($6) a month. I have just today adopted a panda called Zhu Xiong in China who was rescued from a farming village. I think it is a great way of helping animal charities, and at the same time you get to learn more about the animals and you get regular progress updates on your adopted animal.

I would recommend this form of giving to anybody. It is a really worthwhile thing to do and I get so much pleasure from it.
