In August of 2021, I adopted Gizzmo from Cry For Help Animal Rescue, an organization which rescues animals from a high-kill pound in Indiana. Read my Rescue story here.
I am committed to being cruelty-free and making compassionate choices that do not harm others, including animals. I pledge to reject animal exploitation in every way I can.
I aim to raise awareness about animal advocacy so that more people may choose to live compassionately and reject animal exploitation. We can all move beyond inherited habit and work to end animal exploitation.
I’m volunteering at animal rescue organizations and utilizing my skillset to offer website redesign services and social media management to improve the online brand presence of rescue organizations.
