Animal Prints

Adopt, Don’t Shop

“So many animals are being displaced by fires and other natural disasters. Providing them a new home is a great way to both help an animal in need and also have a new companion through this crazy time. Petfinder is a way to find a rescue near you, but make sure you are getting from shelters and rescues not from breeders or puppy farms.”
