I recently had the privilege of teaching Pet Tech First Aid and CPR classes for the Torrance ADT and through that connection learned about Noah's Wish: "a unique animal welfare organization dedicated exclusively to rescuing and sheltering animals in disasters, throughout the United States and Canada."  Like all nonprofits, they need our support - or you might even want to get involved as a volunteer.  You can find out more at:
