The Philadelphia Metro Wildlife Center in Norristown covers four Pennsylvania counties (including Philadelphia) and takes in over 3000 animals a year. The birds were living like city apartment dwellers … the upstairs neighbors were the woodpeckers, downstairs were the screech owls. Sounds like a sitcom!

4 The Love Of Animals

OCTOBER 15, 2012

Today is Blog the Change day, a special day where bloggers write about animal causes near and dear to them. So today I want to tell you about my personal favorite, Best Friends Animal Society.

This time of year, I worry about animals who are bought or adopted as gifts. This assumes that everyone also agrees that the animal will be part of the family for life. If you want to give a life-long home to a homeless, domesticated animal and you are fully capable of doing so, fantastic!
