Big animal lovers, does it make you cry all the time and think about this too?

I would recommend fostering those animals in need of a home. You foster them until they get a home (via The Human Society.) Which is a temporary home. You just give them food and water. The humane society will take care of shots, etc. It is an amazing way to help. And you should try one, then you can foster several at a time. Not just dogs, also cats, rabbits, etc.
