Don’t Forget The Animals

It’s getting closer to the holidays and folks around the city are pulling together to remember the special cats, dogs, horses, hamsters, fishes (shall I go on?) of the Boston area.  Make sure you do your part, too.  Whether it’s attending an MSPCA event or cooking up a homemade doggie treat, you know your actions mean a lot to the critters.

Boston Zest recently shared the blogging stage with the MSPCA’s Brian Adams.  Besides a bake sale, the MSPCA is offering various events over the next few weeks to help raise funds for the organization.  Check out the options HERE.

The Animal Rescue Site is so fantastic.  Many of you web-ites probably know about it but just in case, I’m putting another link HERE. Click once a day to donate food (at NO cost to you) for homeless animals.  There is also a special challenge going on right now that allows you to vote for your favorite local shelter. The winner will receive $100,000 towards improving their services.

Now what about taking a break from your vigorous pie-baking regimen to create some treats for your animals? Here are some great horse/bird/dog recipes from the What’s Cooking Blog.

Only have time to think about animals during your commute?  Download this Radio Boston broadcast on DOGS (really…..DOGS) and be prepared to be amazed by the information we found (from fun tidbits to serious public policy issues).  No JOKE.
