An Escape that Helps Animals in Need

Spend your time helping out at Angels Among Us.

Did you ever want to give of yourself? Have you ever thought of volunteering as an escape? Maybe I’ve just planted a new seed in your thoughts.  According to the thesaurus, a few synonyms for the word "escape" are: getaway, liberate, elude. 

Think of it — when you get lost in giving of yourself to another being, caring for him/her, even the cleaning up, when you focus on one thing, isn’t that escaping? 

So escape and become an angel and share unconditional love with an orphaned animal. This is an escape in which you can share with anyone but, in reality, it’s something that is sincerely personal.

And we have a great rescue organization nearby — Angels Among Us Pet Rescue, right here in Johns Creek. The non-profit rescues animals from high-kill shelters across North Georgia, manages foster homes throughout the metro area, and runs a cat adoption center at the Johns Creek PETCO on State Bridge Road.

For more information on volunteering for this group, visit www.angelsrescue.org.
