We are very excited to welcome Shelley Gorman to our team at Animal Fairy Charities. Shelley will be a huge asset for our cause.

"I have always been an animal lover since I was a child, bringing home strays, always wanting to be with animals more than people.

I first got involved with advocacy when I heard about the plight of our nations wild mustangs & burros through Madeleine Pickens “Saving America’s Mustangs”. I then began to find out what has been happening to all our other beautiful creatures and my soul just cried out! This was my purpose in life!" - Shelley Gorman

Sarah was a extraordinary person and one of my very best friends. She loved animals and encouraged me often to follow my dreams. Sarah's "bucket list" included a trip to Best Friends in Utah. I'm sorry that my friend never made it. We miss you Sarah...

Fostering and Adoption Network

As a rescue or shelter, we know how tough it can be to find good foster and/or forever homes for some of our companion animals. Exposure is very important but many rescue organizations and shelters cannot afford to advertise. Many of you have contacted us to get on the show and we have featured some of you and will continue to feature as many of you as we can. In the meantime, we have come up with a way to help you get more exposure.

If you are a Rescue, Animal Shelter or Humane Society, we can help you get more exposure! For a small yearly membership fee, you will receive a listing right here, receive updates on the show via our monthly newsletters and best of all, we will be promoting our "Fostering and Adoption" Network on Animal Advocate Television each week.
All Rescues, Shelters and Humane Societies will also be considered for a featured segment on the show.

Finally, on a personal note, we hear many stories like the one below however, I cannot convey how much Snoops story has touched my life. Snoop was a helpless puppy with no voice who depended on humans to care for him.

Will our animals ever get their day in court?
We will keep following this story and calling on our legislature to do more for our animals.
We, as a country, must stand together and ask our leaders to implement required reading and mandatory educational classes to help teach our children compassion
and empathy at an early age.


That all said, we ask you, no matter where you are this weekend,
no matter what you might be doing...
please... say a prayer for Snoop and all the others who suffer.

Animal Abuse Gets National Attention


Thanks once again for all of your support. For the Animals, Debra

The Animal Fairy! This New Children’s Book Is Designed To Help Teach Children Compassion At An Early Age Through The Positive Interaction With Animals And Is A Must For All Parents Looking For Ways To Inspire Empathy and Kindness In Their Children.

An avid animal lover, Abrams was inspired by The Crossings Animal Sanctuary’s goal to build Bucks County’s first no-kill animal sanctuary and participated herself in the Tail Waggers Strut last year. Abrams was all set to walk for the cause again this year when she received a call from The Crossings Animal Sanctuary to participate in a book signing once they learned she was a local resident of Yardley, PA.

“The Animal Fairy” written by Shelley Abrams and illustrated by Susie Weber introduces a new loveable creature who is empowered to help animals.

“It’s a very exciting concept and I’m thrilled to be involved by writing his story”, said Shelley Abrams, author of the book. “Helping children learn about animals in need is a dream come true and a story that must be told”, Abrams added.

“Kids Can, Too!” will be part of Tail Waggers Strut and will entail a 2-mile walk for elementary school children. This walk aims to teach young children the value of community service and that they can accomplish great things through positive action.

Animal Fairy Charities, Inc. seeks to promote compassion amongst children and is asking Bucks County and the surrounding areas for their support on May 15th, 2011. Author Shelley Abrams will be signing copies of The Animal Fairy. She will discuss what it means to see the book in parents and children’s hands. Dialogue is encouraged and parents are encouraged to bring their children.

About The Author
As a lifelong animal lover, Shelley Abrams was enchanted when first introduced to the Animal Fairy Character and embraced the idea when asked to author his story. Dogs, cats and horses have remained a constant in Shelley's life. In 2004, she bought her first race horse and created Smarty’s Gift Stables. Realizing that many thoroughbreds needed a second chance after their racing days were over, Smarty’s Gift Stables launched a program that has rescued and helped to rehome dozens of horses. She continues to campaign in support of animal welfare reform

Last year’s Tail Waggers Strut brought over 800 walkers and raised $65,000.This year’s goal is 1,000 walkers with their 4-legged companions, who will help raise $100,000 for the Sanctuary Building Fund.

This year’s festival will introduce a SuperAdoption event. Local rescue organizations will bring over 100 dogs and cats available for adoption. As a result of this one-day event, 50-75 pets will hopefully find loving, forever homes.

Three weeks prior to the Tail Waggers Strut, on April 20, Bucks County area restaurants will host "Appetite for Saving Animals", a dinner hour fundraiser. Participating restaurants donate a portion of their evening’s revenue to CAS’ Sanctuary Building Fund.

The Tail Waggers Strut will include a 2-mile walk for elementary school children, called "Kids Can, Too!".
