A.R.T. in the U.S.I.

Animal Rescue Team in the United States of Imagination

My lovely daughter is nine! For her birthday she decided that instead of having her family and friends bring gifts for her she would rather they bring gifts for animals who live in shelters. And that is what everybody did. She collected bags and bags of animal food, toys, blankets, towels and treats!!!

Her dilemma: where should the ART in the USI donate all this loot.

She decided to donate some of it to the Austin Zoo which is a privately owned, non profit zoo and animal sanctuary. All of the animals at the zoo are rescue animals, either injured or previously pets.

We still have a car load and she wants it to go to the animals who are suffering the most. She has requested that I go on-line and look for the saddest animals. I'm thinking we will head to Town Lake Animal Shelter this week.

Thank you to everyone who brought donations as gifts for Annie's birthday.
