Many of us fight for the lives of dogs and cats in shelters everyday but forget about the animals on our plates. Every step towards cruelty free living is a step in the right direction, eating a vegan diet is an easy way to change the lives of billions of animals!

Sometimes you see something that makes your jaw drop and stuns you into silence, which is quickly followed by outrage. When I watched this video, I had that ...

Oppression can only survive through silence. Congratulations to the US on a landmark decision to legalize gay marriage throughout the entire United States!

World Day for Farmed Animals is October 2nd, chosen because it is Gandhi's birthday. Throughout his life, Gandhi undertook nearly 20 fasts as political and social protest.

Most farmed animals are starved for hours, even days, as they are being transported to slaughter. In remembrance and solidarity with their tremendous suffering, we invite you to join activists across the world in a Fast Against Slaughter on October 2nd.

Dogs are currently being poisoned in Peru by the city and hospitals despite efforts from Peru Street Dogs to mark and vaccinate as many dogs as possible. Please click on the Peru street dogs page and learn more about the work they are doing to keep the Peru stray dog population under control. If you are able to donate, every dollar helps to spay and neuter more animals!

Nina was dumped at a park in Galveston. I had seen posts over facebook about a dog at a park that had been there for weeks starving and infested with ticks. I drove down to the park with my friend and searched for the dog. When we drove up we saw a sweet lab puppy following a little girl around as if they belonged together. When I tried to approach Nina she quickly bolted off in fear and then went back to the little girl. It took us two hours and the help of the little girls family to get Nina out of the drain pipe that she was hiding in. It's apparent that she has been abused and only trusts children, but for all that she has been through she is still extremely sweet and loving. If only everyone had the ability that Nina has to forgive so easily the world would be a much better place...

I know so many of my wonderful friends rescue animals but how many of you have taken the pledge to buy only cruelty-free products? Each year millions of dogs, rabbits and other animals are painfully tested on in labs across the United States and euthanized once they are deemed no longer useful, very few of these animals ever get to feel the warm sun on their face or the cool grass under their feet. By choosing to not use products that are tested on animals and supporting companies that don't test, you advocate alternatives to animal testing.

I've recently been using the Cruelty Cutter app on my iphone and I absolutely love it. You can scan any item with your phone and it tells you it's cruelty free status.

Atlanta, Ga. Fulton County Animal Services. Kyra and Delaware snuggle together to comfort each other in the crowded shelter. Sadly, they most likely won't make it out of the shelter alive but I hope this inspires others to go to your local shelter and ADOPT.

The Sunshine Support Foundation is a philanthropic foundation not a charity or rescue. You might be wondering what the difference is: Private foundations like Sunshine Support are privately funded and support the work of public charities and rescues through grants instead of administering their own programs. Public charities and rescues run programs and depend on the kindness of donors for money to support those programs, whereas we use our own personally earned funds. At this point Sunshine Support Foundation has not fully launched but we will are working diligently on setting up a website with grants starting in 2015!
