This will touch your HEART!

Pets are an important part of many of our lives. Most are treated just like family. A pet looks at us with unconditional love and most of us respond in-kind by taking care of their every need.

Every day, countless animals suffer from cruelty and neglect. Thousands were rescued last year—but for thousands of others, help came too late.

Recently there has been a commercial on TV that I have seen that pulls on my heart strings. I feel compelled to share this short film with you.

Click here to go to  MYASPCA.ORG.  View the commercial by clicking on the link on their homepage.  Get a few tissues ready!  It most certainly will tug on your heart.

If you are moved by the commercial, don't forget our animals here in Menard County. There are many who need your love and care. If you have time to spare and looking for something worth doing, call our Menard County Animal Shelter to see how you can help.
