Hope for Paws Saving Abused and Neglected Animals Christmas in July $1 Does Help
For all the animal lovers out there and those who want to help but feel they can't do much. Here's the time to help we are fundraising and we are getting matching donations for all money donated (up to $1000!). Not only that those who donate as little as $5 have a chance at some wonderful Balsam Hill Christmas ornaments! Read on to find out more and share the news!
If you can't wait GO HERE to donate 🙂
In our home our pets are considered family members. They may be a little different because they have four legs and fur, but that doesn't make us love them any less! They are an important, and integral, part of our family! They bring us love, comfort and joy. Our pets make us laugh with their silly antics. If we are sad, they quietly lend an ear to our troubles, providing a quiet comforting presence. Without them, our lives would be empty! We just couldn't imagine life without them.
Here is my daughter with our two dogs Luna (the bigger dog a Blue Heeler) and our Chihuahua Little Zeus or as we call him LZ
While our pets are very loved and spoiled members of our family, unfortunately there are so many homeless animals that are living in fear and pain! They have no one to love and care for them and no one to share their gift of love with. Thinking about them breaks my heart and I want to help as much as I can. While a lot of us are not in the position to adopt or foster pets, there is a way we can help! Hope for Paws is a wonderful non-profit Animal Rescue Organization whose mission is to rescue and save animals!
Sadly there are far too many animals out there who are abused and neglected. Many are living in shockingly horrible condition in both "homes", hoarder situations, dog fighting rings and on the street. Some dogs have been found living in garbage dumps, sewers and more.
Hope for Paws works to save stray animals. These animals are living a life of misery and death. They have no one to care for them. These pets have to scavenge for food for survival. They suffer through bad weather, are at risk for being hit by cars and suffer abuse from cruel people. Some are in pain from wounds, broken bones, infections, parasites, and infestations. It's a sad way for a living thing to live!
I have a passion for wanting to do what I can to help animals and while I can't always donate much, I can volunteer my time and donate what I can afford Sometimes we think there's nothing we can do, but there is and it can be as little as donating $1, yes just $1 and luckily right now I have a sponsor who will match our donations! It's hard to think of these poor pets suffering without our heart breaking. So, we are partnering with Balsam Hill. Balsam Hill is celebrating Christmas in July!
What does Christmas in July have to do with helping animals in need? Well, we are excited to tell you that right now for every $1 donated for Hope for Paws, Balsam Hill will match it up to $1000 for Hope for Paws!
But, that's not all!
For every $5 donation, you receive a chance to at the entire Balsam Hill Mistletoe & Holly Ornament Set!
For every $25 donation, you will receive a Balsam Hill Mistletoe & Holly Christmas Ornament!
Even if you can only give $1, every dollar matters and will go toward helping these pets! Your donation will go directly to Hope for Paws, and their efforts to protect and help these unfortunate animals.
We can't tell you how tremendous this is! Now, I'm asking for your help. If all of us could give just $1, think how much that would be and how far it would go in helping these animals! I would love to see us reach our goal of at least $1,000. I know we can do this if we all pull together!
Would you considering helping with a small donation?

We would love to say a heartfelt THANK YOU for helping us help homeless and neglected animals.
I received the ornaments pictured above so that I could share them with you. I did not receive any monetary compensation for this post. It's all about helping and rescuing animals in dire need.
This just makes me so glad! Awesome cause!
Hi Michelle!
This is truly a wonderful cause. To be quite honest, I am appalled that some of us just do not care for animals properly. Some even treat them cruelly. It’s important that we stand up for animals. They deserve to be treated correctly. They deserve to live in a proper environment and to have a home where they can be happy. I hope more people will read this post and be inspired to help all the animals out there who need to be taken care of.
I’m curious how people can contact the organization if they are concerned about animals. If you have the details, would definitely appreciate if you also post it on this page.

Thanks Dagmar, just go to their website which there is a link on my funding page to them 🙂
I hate to see people abuse animals!
I don't understand how someone could hurt a helpless animal that wants nothing more than to love you. I adopted an abused, older beagle from the pound. He would occasionally have an accident, and I'd look at his broken tail and nervous face and could never bring myself to yell at him much less hurt him physically. Thank you for doing this, I hope you meet your goal!
I just don't understand why anyone would want to abuse an animal. They have unconditional love for their owner. I would love to make a difference and donate some money to this organization.
Nicole, thank you and any and all support is appreciated.
It makes me sad to see the neglect and inhumane treatment of these wonderful animals.
I am so glad that there are kind & generous people who truly care about the abused and neglected animals. I have never understood how anyone can be so evil as to look into a loving animals eyes and be mean to it. I wish I could afford to donate but I am a widow on a very limited income. I truly hope you reach your goal!
So glad you're getting the word out about our animals in need!!!
Thanks for getting the word out about animals in need!
I think it's very sad that people get animals and abuse or neglect them. It's important to not buy a surprise gift of an animal for someone. It's a person thing. They and the animal have to like each other before they're brought into a home.
I think that it is great that you are doing this foe the animals. There are a lot of hurt and nwglected animals here at our local animal shelter and I pray they are all placed in a good home.
I wish I could give some right now but I can't. I had to take my littlest fur baby to the vet yesterday she's very sick. I have 2 who rescued me. They are my everything. I admire you greatly for doing all you can for those who need help. I give when I can, they are so important in the lives of people. Precious babies for sure.
I want to send money but I don't have a check or credit card. I can send a money order next wk. Is there an address to send it to? I will look to see if I can find an address. I wish I could send a lot but being on SSI doesn't leave money for extras. I love love dogs and I'd love to send what I can. Thank you Michelle for everything you do to help animals. You're a good person with a beautiful & giving heart 🙂
I just noticed where it says if you donate $25 you can get those ornaments. I already donated, but does it have to be $25 in a one time donation? Can I add more money to what I already gave & it adds up to $25 can I still get the set? In other words donate 3 different times where the total is $25? Sorry for the confusion...
I really hope the goal is met. If I could id adopt every animal I would! I love animals so I will definitely help!
I'm so glad more people are stepping up & helping out such a worthy cause. I hope you reach the $1000 goal, it would be great to help as many furbies as possible.
This is an awesome read! We have adopted dogs from the pound in the past. It's always great when you can save an animals life.
We adopted our last 2 dogs from our local shelter, and this post made me all teary. Fur babies are so important.
such an amazing cause to raise money for.
This is the reason why we have our own menagerie of animals... 5 dogs and 3 cats. Love them all and all but one cat sleeps with us. Spolied rotten they are!!
What a wonderful thing to share with your readers. I always share your posts on Fb about the dogs looking for homes. I am saddened by all the abuse that I have seen lately just in our little community alone
Thank you for always sharing Jenn, I figure it's the least we can do and it can help some poor dogs!
We recently got a half breed puppy. He is had to train and like to bark whenever anything moves BUT we have never had a dag is so loving . He wants snuggled when we first get up. Sleeps on top of husband. All day log is is just a dog that make s you smile. Glad we took him.
I don't understand how people do this to another living creature?
I don't either Deborah and yet it happens all too often so it takes people like us to step up and try to help 🙂
I really wish I were able to donate. I have a huge heart for animals. Especially dogs and cats. I dont see how anyone could be cruel to an animal. we live in a world full of hateful people.. I truly hope you can raise $1000 for Hope for Paws. I'm so sorry Im not able to help.. I really wish I could... 🙁
This is beyond sad. It's despicable. How could anyone hurt an animal?
I LOOVE ALL animals!! and I am so very happy that you make sure you put out there what you believe in and that you are here helping these poor babies!! Thank You for that huge heart of yours!! xoxo
Oh how the picture of the one eyed dog tears at my heart strings...he is so precious. I'm just happy for him (or her) that he has escaped whatever his past was. If there's something I despise more than anything, that I hate with every fiber of my being, it's the abuse & neglect of all things helpless! I have no problem giving & helping in any way I can, towards those Causes. Thank you for doing this & I hope more people will step up. (p.s. I gave too)
Thank you Joyce much appreciated and I feel the same way. I hope we can raise at least $1000 so that it gets matched and doubled to $2000. Thank you again!
