An organization near and dear to my heart, Pug Nation LA, is able to have matching donations made during the month of December (made possible by an anonymous donor).

Even if it is a dollar or two, your donation is matched to help dogs in need. This organization has rescued and rehabilitated so many dogs over the years and they run with a band of volunteers to make it all possible.

If you wish to consider giving, check out this organization at https://www.pugnationla.org/home/

Approximately 50,000 veterans are homeless on any given night here in the U.S. Many homeless veterans are also caring for a beloved animal companion. These animals provide emotional support and comfort, yet the responsibility can bring a added stress to a homeless veteran’s life.

Here’s how you can help:

- Click “Join” above.

- Either help a veteran and their pet directly by sending them a comfort backpack filled with items for both of them. https://store.theanimalrescuesite.greatergood.com/products/00006-care-packs-for-homeless-veterans-their-pets?utm_source=ars-ta-animals&utm_medium=email&utm_term=11112019&utm_content=takeaction-f&utm_campaign=freeship-care-pack-for-vet-and-pet&oidp=0x7bcfadb7a712774dc0a82c34
