We support animal rights...
"Never doubt that a small group of concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead, American Anthropologist
Animals love, dream, cry, express joy and pain. They are our fellow creatures... entitled to live their life as nature intended. They are not ours to do with as we please.
We must stop using, abusing and torturing them.
Heart 2 Heart donates a portion of our affiliate commission toward animal rescue, care and welfare. We roamed the web looking at hundreds of sites, wishing for a lottery win so we could give to each and every one of them.
The three sites we chose are listed below. We've included some "about info" alongside a snapshot.
Please visit the sites to read more about their outstanding work and the joyful, happy endings they have enabled for thousands upon thousands of used, abused and neglected animals.
As a human being, you will weep with shame when you see what we have done, and still continue to do, to our fellow creatures. You will also shed tears of happiness and smile when you look at the photos and watch the videos; when you see the pure joy on the faces of the animals these compassionate, caring people have rescued.
If you are able to, please make a donation of any size. Every single penny helps. Together we can end the suffering and abuse of all living creatures.
"The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them, that's the essence of inhumanity." - George Bernard Shaw, Irish Playwright and Critic

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
- Mahatma Gandhi
Website excerpt: "We will not kill an animal in our care because it would be too expensive to save it, or because no one wants it.
We believe no animal should be manipulated, hurt, or confined in order to serve a human want - whether for amusement, profit, sport, research, food, or education.
We support true animal welfare groups which really work to stop factory farming, animal-entertainment, zoos, hunting, and other cruel uses of our fellow animals.
We support true no-kill shelters. We believe respect for all life is equally important to the progress of peace on earth.
We believe the way we treat animals, the earth, and each other, are one and the same, and when we help one, we help all." Read more...
