I had never heard of these projects… thanks for educating us!
I had never heard of it either. I like the fact that for a small price a person can adopt an animal. I’m thinking of doing that for my grandchildren. Thank you for stopping by to read and comment.
What an informative and worthwhile way to present A to Z. Possibly some bloggers will “follow” your organizations as well. Fantastic work. Happy blogging, Cheryl
I wasn’t going to go with this theme, but I am glad that I did. There are so many great charities that are so low on the totem pole that many people have never heard of them. Happy Blogging to you as well!
I love this theme for the A to Z challenge. There are so many great charities out there and it’s so wonderful that you’re educating people about their causes. 🙂
I am hoping that this puts a little bit of a spotlight on these charities. Thank you for stopping by to read and comment.
No problem 🙂
such a great way to use the challenge. 🙂
Thank you. I was trying to find a theme that no one had used before. Thank you for stopping by to read and comment.
This is wonderful and a great way to highlight worthwhile charities.
Thank you! There are so many great charities that people don’t know about. I hope this puts a spotlight on some of them. Thank you for stopping by to read and comment.
I subscriBe To A similar charity in the UK. I don’t think compassion for animals precludes compassion for humans as some seem to.
I love charities such as this one. I wish others would understand how important they are. Thank you for stopping by to read and comment.
Another great sounding charity. I had no idea that companion animals were treated so poorly! I always thought that they were cherished members of the family. I’m going to have to look into that a little more deeply.
I think this charity is concerned as to the way these animals are treated when they are being trained. Don’t quote me on that…that is just my opinion. Thank you for stopping by to read and comment.
I love your theme too. Thank you for sharing this information, I will look into this organization.
I am going to look into this organization more myself. I am thinking of adopting an animal for my grandchildren. Thank you for stopping by to read and comment.
What an interesting and informative post.
Thank you Keith. And thank you for taking the time to read and comment.
Your theme is indeed inspiring!
I wish more people could develop better understanding towards these issues. Thank you for providing this information!
I wish more people would too! Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

I LOVE this organization. You know I’m an animal lover and an advocate for their welfare too, so this topic is close to my heart. I’ve never heard of Born Free. I’m going to look closer at them. Thanks so much! Sharing this post!
You’re an animal lover? Who would have guessed…lol I really liked this organization myself. I am thinking of adopting an animal for my grandchildren. It really doesn’t cost that much. Thank you Jeanne for stopping by to read and comment, and for sharing this post.

I did not know we had a primate sanctuary in TX. We will definitely have to add that to our list of places to visit and donate to. We spend spring break this year at Saint Francis Wolf Rescue and Sanctuary in Conroe TX.
I had never heard of this place either and would have visited it when I lived in Texas. If you visit let me know how it was. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.
