i love animals so much

Happy (belated) b-day! I hope your special day was, well, special! 🎁

Happy early birthday!!! I hope you have a good birthday!

yeah i have a while to go for mine...its in November

aww😎, thanks guys,🤩 oh, and did you know I really do have a squirrel , she's still a wild squirrel but she comes everyday and 2 times a year she brings her baby's their soooo cute😎 and she's a eastern gray squirrel, (sometimes she gets really cute and hangs from her back legs and stretches' her front legs and yawns its soooooo cute🤩🤩🤩🤩) and sometimes she mocks me ,😡like if I stand up she does ,if I lay down she does its SOOO funny !

OMG THAT IS SO CUTE!!! I absolutely LOVE squirrels!!! I have a wild squirrel too, and he's super adorable!

Aww, so cute! Where I live, we have deer. Recently my family and I were working outside, and the deer were, like, only 60 feet away from us. Animals are so trusting! And CUTE! 😁

That is incredibly cuteeee! She must trust you a whole lot!

Woo happy early birthday! Mine in November, so I've still got a good ways to go haha! Best wishes to you though!

Birthday month twins! Mine is in November too! #twinsies

Mine is also in November!

Oh wow thats great!! i've never won one

i get the national Geographic magazines, they are so cool!

This is VERY important! Unlike some of the other posts on the the climate change this post isn't about that. This post is on animals...to be specific, dogs. Dogs all over the world are abused,hurt, left on the streets, and sometimes even killed. Its time we do something about it. Even though we are kids and can't do much we can still do somethings. We can donate to no-kill shelters, create a club on how to stop dog abuse(thats what im doing,) help shelters and more. If you LOVE dogs and want to help them like this post and friend me. Lets help some dogs. And NO im not doing this for likes and friends. I AM SERIOUS!!!! Even the smallest thing we do or smallest amout we donate can make a BIG change. ~ PetVet09

Ugly or beautiful, Quiet or loud, with disabilities or not, Big or small. We save them all ~ Victoria

I Don't have money to donate...

Its fine. You don't need to have money. Even just selling stuff at a yard sale that's related to animals is fine.

This is so true! Did you know that around 1 MILLION animals are abused every year? Dogs are so cute, loyal, and amazing, yet they're abandoned and abused so much--it's just sad. I think more people should be aware of this and HELP DOGS!!! Even though I don't have any pets of my own, my family and I donate money to a lot of animal shelters and rescue organizations. We ALL need to do something to help!

I am not a huge animal lover and I don't have pets but it always makes me sad to hear about this stuff. I think some people don't understand why people care about animals and those people just cant imagine themselves in a situation that some animals are in so they have no empathy.

**1 million dogs, not 1 million animals (sorry about the typo)

Adding on to what I said earlier, I foster orphaned dogs! My parents believe dogs shouldn't be treated badly either, so we foster them, then hold a drive where people come and give them a nice home! My only real adopted dog, Autumn, was an orphan before I found her. I was taking a jog and she came up to me and laid on her back wanting belly rubs! My parents said to take her to the shelter and wait to see if her owner came to pick her up, but no one came.. She didn't even have a collar! That's when I decided to adopt her, now she's my best friend, 4 years later! Always do whatever you can to help a dog! <3

Omg! That's so cool and Autumn is such a good dog name

OH WOW! Good for you! My one of my mom's best friends adopted a foster dog a year ago. The dog's name is Val. Autumn is such a pretty name! Good choice! 🍁🍂

i luv dogs omg!!! yr so lucky thats so cool that yr helping out

❤❤❤omg thats awesome i have ALWAYS loved the idea of fostering. Its so cool that you do that

Thank you! It's a group effort, so we all have to do what we can! ❤❤❤

Omg I agree with you! Dogs can feel happiness, pain, and loneliness just as we can! We need to take better care of them! Things you can do is : Volunteer for pet health. Inspire others to volunteer. Educate yourself about homeless dogs. Consider adopting a homeless dog! Fund rescue groups. Donate! And most importantly... make a lifelong commitment to dogs! I see people in my neighborhood tie their dogs to a tree outside and just leave them there all day! We need to take better care of our animal companions, whatever it takes!
