1 Love 4 Animals

Item #110212 - Box Sign

100% of the proceeds from the sale of this box sign supports 1 Love 4 Animals. 1 Love's primary mission has always been to rescue animals from neglectful and abusive circumstances, provide them with necessary medical care, then place them in loving homes. Since 1 Love’s inception in September 2017, we have made it possible for over one thousand dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals to find new homes, while providing food for an additional 400 animals belonging to seniors, and families facing financial or personal difficulties.

The very definition of the word “primitive” is a quality that offers a basic level of comfort and efficiency. When Kathy adopted “Luna,” a timid Newfoundland breeding dog rescued by 1 Love 4 Animals from a PA puppy mill, she was not only prepared to provide her new dog a high level of comfort, love, and patience, Kathy and her team set about helping other mill dogs with efficiency and compassion. The money raised by the sale of Kathy’s delightful boxes will provide veterinary care for at-risk animals suffering from abuse and neglect. Learn more at: www.1love4animals.org
