Today
we are joining the Remember Me Thursday™ global awareness campaign with animal
lovers and organizations across the world to light a candle in remembrance of
the millions of orphan pets who lost their lives without the benefit of a
loving home. It is also shining a light
on the millions of pets still waiting for their forever homes.
Mike Arms, President of Helen Woodward Animal Center, champions this movement. He is the creator of both the International
Pet Adoptathon and International Home 4 the Holidays program that along with
other national animal organizations has placed 9.3 million pets in their
forever homes since 1999.
He
is partnered with Katherine Heigl’s Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, who works
tirelessly to end the needless suffering of companion animals in America. A number of celebrities are joining in
shining the light on homeless pets by becoming Celebrity Luminaries. These include Tony-winning actor Alan
Cumming, Jackson Galaxy of “My Cat from Hell”, Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie
Ann Inaba, actresses Diane Keaton, and Kristen Chenoweth. By lighting a candle today, you are
remembering those pets that have lost their lives and shining a light on those
waiting to be adopted right now. Share

the light on deserving pets everywhere.

Me Thursday campaign video featuring the inspiring song "It Will Be Me"

ReplyDeleteI get really choked up and very, very sad when I think about all the pets who have died without homes. :(
ReplyDeleteHi Y'all!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea.
Y'all come by now,

It is sad there are so many homeless pets. I know my sisters and I are not shelter dogs, but Mom's last dog was and all her cats have been shelter cats. One can only do so much. There are homeless humans as well. Sadly it seems to be a part of life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cause - thank you for bringing it to our attention.
ReplyDeleteWe want all pets to have a loving forever home and we think all those who try and achieve that goal are amazing. Have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly

Thank you for sharing this. Mike Arms is really a champion for animal welfare organizations, it is so good to see that he continues to spread the word about the needs of homeless animals.
ReplyDeleteI lit a candle, such a great cause. Thank you for promoting it. That video was amazing, but I have to admit pretty hard to watch.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea and such a worthy cause. I hadn't heard of it before....anything bringing attention to homeless pets is so important and it's great to see the celebrities that were helping as well.
