When dogs are not gay

When I first heard of this program,I thought it was named after a woman benefactor.  I mean,who names their dog ‘Agnes’? Then I saw her face and it just seemed to fit.

According to the poster seen here to the left:

Agnes was the beloved companion of a client at the Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS.  She symbolized the friendship and love that animals can provide for their owners.  The Agnes Fund was created in order for others to experience the same joys of the human-to-animal bond.  Southwest Center has teamed together with the Arizona Humane Society to help cover cost of pet health care that is not  affordable for their clients.

According to Thomas,Client and Community Resources Coordinator for the Southeast Center for HIV/AIDS,the fund is very low and many dogs are going without care and proper nutrition because their owners are unable to provide for them due to circumstances in their own life.  The Humane Society generously steps in to provide shelter,medical care,and food for these animals,but they cannot do it without adequate funding.

With Pride Fests going on all over the country,hopefully people will remember those who are not able to celebrate as easily,and the pets they live with.  Dogs provide immeasurable comfort and companionship,  so imagine how cruel it would be to have to be separated from the ones you give comfort to,just when they need it the most.    If you have a program in your community like this,check it out or else consider contributing to Agnes’fund.

Agnes!  What a great name for a dog.
