As a “mom” of five adopted pets (not to mention all the other pets adopted since I was a child) I have a soft spot in my heart for animals and a great appreciation for any organization who helps animals.
In honor of the Hallmark Hall of Fame world premiere of their new holiday movie, A Dog Named Christmas, the Hallmark Hall of Fame is helping Petfinder.com give every dog adoption story a happy ending.
This holiday season, Petfinder.com is kicking off the first ever “Foster A Lonely Pet For the Holidays” program in conjunction with the movie A Dog Named Christmas.
A Dog Named Christmas is a movie is based on Greg Kincaid’s popular novel. It is a touching story about a developmentally challenged young man who names his adopted dog Christmas and sets out to convince the whole town to participate in a local animal shelter’s inaugural “Adopt a Dog for Christmas Program.”
Similarly, Petfinder.com is working with more than 2,000 shelters and rescue groups across North America to give families a chance to adopt a pet this holiday season.
Potential dog and cat owners can visit petfinder.com/foster-a-lonely-pet to learn if their local shelter is participating in the program.
All are encouraged to tune in to the Hallmark Hall of Fame world premiere of A Dog Named Chrsitmas on Sunday, November 29 at 9/8c only on CBS. Learn more about this pet fostering program at the Hallmark Hall of Fame.
Please CLICK HERE to read more about the movie. It sounds like a beautiful and touching movie. I know I’m not going to miss it. That is if I can get my husband to give up the Sunday night football game.
When you are donating food to local food banks please consider donating a few cans of pet food and other pet supplies. Many families who are struggling are also pet owners and their pets go hungry too. Also, please consider donating used blankets, sheets, pillow cases, pet food, cleaning supplies and pet products you no longer have a need for (leashes, pens, carriers…) to your local animal shelter. Better yet maybe you could donate an hour of your time each week to walk the dogs, play with the cats and socialize the animals and let them know that there are people in the world who love and care about them.
