Animal Cruelty is Finally Getting the Attention it Deserves

Planning for Your Pets In Case of Arrest

A Victim of Crime!
Oh Dog! There was an attempted burglary at our house overnight! It wasn’t immediately obvious when we got up, but Jen went into a cabinet to get some food for us and she found this: She had heard someone’s repeated attempts to open the cabinet but figured it was one of them kitties looking for […]
