Who can resist this face? Or any of the faces in this post? Not me! We met these sweet puppies and kitties today at Wright Way Animal Rescue Adoption Center in Niles, when my fellow Sunday School teachers and I brought our students there to drop off some homemade dog biscuits we had made together. Wright Way is a teriffic no-kill shelter that rescues dogs and cats (and often litters of unwanted puppies) and gets them ready for adoption. The Niles facility is strictly an adoption center -- they do not take in any animals there. Their intake facility is in Southern Illinois, where they have veterinarians on staff to make sure the pets are healthy before being adopted out.
Six years ago we adopted one of our beloved black lab mix dogs from Wright Way, so the shelter holds a special place in my heart. The staff is friendly, dedicated and very loving to the animals. Every night each of the animals gets a "tuck in" with a clean blanket to snuggle in. The staff prefers to use fleece blankets because they're soft and wick away moisture.
Most kids love puppies and kitties. They're cute, cuddly and oh-so lovable. I strongly encourage anyone who is thinking about adding one to their family to consider adopting from Wright Way Animal Rescue or another no-kill animal shelter. There are so many unwanted pets in this world, and this and other shelters deserve our support and admiration for finding these animals their forever homes where they can be loved and cared for. Purebreds are nice, and you can sometimes find them at shelters or particular breed rescue organizations, but mixed breed dogs are wonderful and love you just as much! 
So if you're in the market for a family pet, take a ride to Wright Way and check out their beautiful selection of puppies and kitties desperately hoping for a family to love. If you go, you might want to check out their donation wish list first. They especially have a consistent need for paper towels and bleach.
If you do go, keep your kids close, because:
Thanks for sharing this, we are really in one and touched with people who are striving to help rescue these poor animals. May your blog flourish more. Have a blessed day!
