"And God said, 'Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.' . . . And God saw that it was good."
-Genesis 1:24-25
I'm called Animal Woman because of my love for animals. This website focuses on finding the right homes for homeless pets, the spaying and neutering of pets, and the promotion of responsible breeding. After all, animals are God's creatures just as we are. They give us love, loyalty, and comfort. Therefore, they should be properly taken care of and none should be without a home.
The links below lead to pages featuring animals in need of homes. The Petfinder link will connect you to the website for the PAWS and More animal shelter in Washington, Iowa, a private shelter supported mostly by donations from people and businesses who support proper animal welfare. Some communities in the county support the shelter with contractual agreements but each year the number of animals accepted exceeds the planned number. Thus the shelter always runs fund raisers and is looking for ways to bring in enough money to support the work that is done. Local Humane Societies do not receive funds from the national Humane Society (HSUS). Some links lead to good websites for one who is looking to adopt/rescue an animal. Others, such as the soapbox and tribute pages, are my own personal pages. I am solely responsible for the content of those particular pages.
Please come back to visit! Updates are done as regularly as possible.

Rescue Pages, Responsible Breeders, and Informational Sites
Many of these links go to sites belonging to people I consider very trustworthy; however some are merely informational sites I've found while on the web. I HATE to have to put a disclaimer here, but I discovered someone who had asked me to add a link was NOT what they represented themselves to be. To the best of my knowledge, ALL these links lead to reputable websites and organizations, but I do not accept any legal responsibility for them. WHEW!

When you see rainbows on my pages, they are in memory
of my sweet human rainbow child, Michael Benjamin, born and died May 13,
1986. I know he would have loved animals as much as his dad and I do.
