Berkley Cameron attended a wedding in Aruba and noticed all of the stray dogs. That lit a fire that would change the lives of both humans and animals..not by taking them away from their home, but by helping owners with spay and neuter and assistance with food and bills. Now, here in the states she is doing similar work by helping families to keep their pets during our current shelter crisis. To learn more: https://onelovefoundationinc.org/ https://locks4paws.org/…

When an undercover animal abuse investigator with 20+ years of experience says something bothers him, you know it is legit. Many years ago, the practice of luring racing greyhounds with live rabbits was investigated and many swept the practice under the rug or claimed "it did not happen." Cue investigator Pete Paxton, who conducted an undercover investigation in partnership with Grey2k USA. What they found was beyond shocking and their investigation, with your help, will hopefully lead to a federal bill called the Greyhound Protection Act.
