Those of us who are homeowners know all too well that most insurance companies DO discriminate if you own certain breeds of dogs. Luckily there are some that don't. While not all of these are created equal, here are some options for owners of pit bulls and other unfairly maligned breeds.

In This Holiday Season.......

Well tomorrow is Christmas Eve - already. It is hard to believe.

Regardless of whether or not you celebrate the holidays, or which holidays you celebrate, it is a busy time of the year for everyone and I am sure the last thing on people’s minds right now is reading this blog so I will keep it short.

It is said that Christmas is the season of miracles, so I would be remiss if I did not mention all of the animals in shelters across the country who are waiting for their own miracles. They are where they are through no fault of their own.

It is a well-known fact that pets can enrich our lives in many ways and it has been my experience that the love you receive from a shelter pet is quite unlike anything you have ever known. They give us so much and ask for so little in return.

If you are considering adding a pet to your family, I ask that you please visit your local shelter and when you do, please go in with an open heart and an open mind. You may be surprised at who you fall in love with.

If it is not the right time to adopt but you would like to make a difference in the life of a homeless animal, consider fostering. Contact rescues in your area and ask them to match you with a dog or cat that suits your lifestyle.

And, even if you cannot adopt or foster a pet there are still many things you can do to make the lives of the animals waiting for homes just a little brighter and less stressful.

                                                         Bring toys or treats to your local shelter.

                                            Offer to volunteer an hour or two a week to walk the dogs or pet the cats.

                                     Clean out your linen closet and donate your unwanted towels and blankets.

                                                Organize a pet collection drive at your school or church. 

Use your imagination. The possibilities are endless, the cost is minimal and the rewards are immense. And, if we all do just a little bit, collectively we can accomplish a lot!

Finally, I want to wish all of my readers of all faiths and persuasions a very happy holiday season. I feel very blessed to be able to follow my own passion to help homeless animals. Your support just makes it all the better. My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you!

Peace and happiness to all,

    About the Author

    Sue Torres is an animal advocate, rescue volunteer and proud owner of a previously abused pit bull who was slated to be destroyed for being tense and fearful in the shelter environment.

She works tirelessly to promote the adoption of pit bulls in our nation's shelters and change perceptions about this extremely misunderstood and unjustly maligned breed.

    She lives in Connecticut with her rescued pit bull, Mickey. Her first book, Loyalty Unleashed was published in May, 2014 and is avsailable in paperback and e-book formats. Loyalty Unleashed II (her second book) is now available, also in paperback and e-book formats.
