American Idol, Paris Bennett Lends Her Voice To AFC

American Idol, Paris Bennett Is Hoping To Pass Her Compassion For Animals On To Her Daughter Egypt And Recommends “The Animal Fairy Book” Is The Perfect Tool To Get Her Started

Franklin, WI – July 8, 2011 – As we've recently reported, Animal Fairy Charities is delighted that American Idol, Paris Bennett has joined us to lend her voice to help animals and has recently reviewed our new children’s book, “The Animal Fairy”.

The “Animal Fairy” 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...

"As a mother who loves animals, I am hoping to pass my compassion for all living things on to my daughter Egypt. Animals play such an important role in our lives and children seem to have a natural bond with them. I found “The Animal Fairy” children’s book a perfect tool to nurture that bond and to start teaching children about kindness and compassion at an early age. The “Animal Fairy” is easy for them to understand and introduces a character they fall in love with." ~ Paris Bennett

Bennett was one of the best liked and highly skilled contestants of American Idol’s 5^th Season, finishing in 5th place.

Since then she’s appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Entertainment Tonight, Live With Regis and Kelly, On Air With Ryan Seacrest, Total Request Live, WSTR-FM and the Today Show. She has sang the National Anthem at a Detroit conference finals NBA game and the Minnesota Twins home opener in Minneapolis, performed at the Divas Simply Singing AIDS benefit concert along with her mother - a concert to raise awareness for domestic violence, recorded a duet with John Debney on the official sound track movie “Everyone’s Hero”, performed on the Walt Disney World Christmas special along with Mandisa and Kevin Covais and shared the stage with Bianca Ryan on a Walt Disney Cruise to St. Lucia.

Paris released her R&B debut album titled “Princess P” (Princess P - an affectionate nickname given to her by Ryan Seacrest, host of American Idol) on 306 Entertainment/TVT Records in 2007. In 2008 she released a holiday album, “A Royal Christmas” and gave birth to her sweet baby girl named Egypt. Paris has been working on a second album - leaving her modern R&B oriented style and leaning towards a more classic jazzy feel - which was to be released sometime late 2009 or early 2010.

Animal Fairy Charities applauds Paris Bennett for lending her voice in support of our mission to help animals.

Animal Fairy Charities raises and distributes funds in support of the missions of other animal non-profit organizations using a federated (i.e. United Way) method. In addition, Animal Fairy Charities educates and engages young children in compassion through the positive interaction with animals.

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.

Our featured Segment on Animal Advocate Television this week is
Animal Doctor Holistic Veterinary Practice. Visiting Dr. Jodie at Animal Doctor was very exciting for us to film as we learned first hand what integrated medicine can do for your pet.
We will be having a Q & A with Dr. Jodie on future shows. If you have a question for her, please
email us here: info@animalfairycharities.org





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

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.

A food court will offer lunch, snacks, and desserts. Special events will occur throughout the day, featuring dog training and agility demonstrations; magicians, balloon making, and face painting for the kids; and a special “Blessing of the Animals.”

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!".
