This morning I received this email: "Happy Friday to you Margaret! I wanted to let you know that with your help, 2590 cats and kittens found homes in July. This is even more than we found homes for last year which was 2,395. Thank you so much for all that you do to help pets and for being such a good friend to the MD SPCA." Tina Regester Director of Communications & Media Relations Maryland SPCA, Inc. 3300 Falls Road Baltimore, MD 21211 410-235-8826 ext. 139 Feel the Warmth of a Cold Nose.
Through generous community support, the Maryland SPCA’s Humane Education Program was able to reach over 11,000 students in schools in Baltimore and Baltimore County! This program teaches the importance of being kind to animals AND providing opportunities for these young students to become better readers.
Improving the lives of pets and people... is a wonderful goal and I love how the SPCA is working with school children and pets. Talk about a win-win.

maryland spca: Paying It Forward...The Rome Way

There is a November challenge hosted by Belinda Spillman . With ActiveRain we see members, every single day, paying it forward...helping others and helping each other. This entire platform is a caring group that I am glad to be a part of.
A few years ago, I wrote about this elderly couple who had to give up their pet when buying a condo. Pets were not allowed. It was some time after-wards that I learned about ESA Emotional Support Animals, Care and Comfort pets, in addition to the ADA protected service dogs. This has been been dealt with some strong emotions from places that are not pet friendly. (35 comments)
Before arriving at the President's Reception tonight I received the following letter:
'Dear Margaret, Thank you for your generous gift to the Maryland SPCA! Many of our animals came to us from heart breaking situations of abuse or neglect . Others were abandoned and unloved. But, because of your generous donation, the pets in our care will have nutritious food, a warm bed, medical care and the opportunity to find a family. Your continued support and compassion gives homeless dogs and cats a chance to find the love they deserve! Once again, thank you for your support .' Sincerely, Wendy E. Webster Director of (11 comments)
The Maryland SPCA did the above story in their Fall 2016 newsletter ANIMAL TALK. Take a few minutes and read the article written by my friend and Franki's mom, Karen Colvin.
Not only was Franki special to her family but to me also. I loved this dog as though she were mine. Such a beautiful spirit, such beautiful eyes such a good soul... I even carry her card with me to tell people about service animals. Rest in peace sweet Franki. I love you.
Look how one special family and one special pet made such a difference. Thank you Karen for sharing and caring.
