Beginning today April 30, 2010, you can buy USPS stamps with pictures of shelter dogs and cats. Proceeds from the sales will bring much - needed food to those shelters. Ellen DeGeneres announced the campain on her show, publicizing the and United States Postal Service's Stamps to the Rescue campaign.
The purpose of the campaign is to gain awareness of the pets in need, and the shelters that are struggling to fill that need in these harsh economic times. The shelters are swelling with pets that can no longer be supported by their owners who have lost jobs or possibly homes. Buying these stamps will get the word out that these shelters need support in their help to find homes for these dogs and cats. You can help with shelter donations, volunteer efforts or by the direct approach - adoption.
During the launch of the campaign, Halo will be donating a million meals to animal shelters throughout the country.
Photographer Sally Anderson-Bruce found these beautiful, adopted pets in her hometown of New Milford, Connecticut. Each of these animals was given a good home thanks to animal rescue shelters and the families who adopted them.
