December 3 is International Day of Persons with Disabilities Day.
There are so many wonderful animals disabilities in shelters. Why not open your home to a special needs dog or cat? The kitty below is Leggo, a stray who lost his leg inside a car engine. He’s such a sweetie and he doesn’t jump on the counters.
Pets with disabilities teach children compassion, and to accept others who are different. Many “special” pets don’t even require special care.

I don’t go looking for animals with disabilities, I actually don’t go looking for animals, but they come to me anyway – well, I went looking for a dog, he just happened to have had a broken leg when he was taken to the shelter…
You’re a good person Leah. That’s why they find you.
I have been around disabled animals that my sister has had over the years. They are precious and leave such a warm place in the heart when they must depart. Do you just ask at the shelter about their disabled residents? How do you find them, Dusty?
