I am blessed to experience this pretty regularly where I work which is a rescue for dogs and cats.

Whenever we are in need of something it always works out, there is always someone there ready to give.

I was totally taken by surprise when I started there by the kids especially. I had never heard of kids having birthday parties and requesting the gifts not be for the birthday boy/girl but for a rescue animal.

I would say that at least 50% of our contributions of food, money, beds, and toys are from these types of parties.

We have also had people that passed away leave money to us because their beloved pet was adopted from us. Who thinks of that?
