Go Orange this month! Show your support for the prevention of cruelty to animals. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has an annual event in April to get the word out and rally support around stopping animal abuse. You can use your imagination and be creative in how you want to GO ORANGE! Enter the ASPCA Go Orange contest and win a very special prize pack. The winner will be featured on the ASPCA website. Two-legged subjects can take a picture of themselves decorated in an orange creation and enter the contest too.

The ASPCA was founded in 1866 by Henry Bergh, who believed animals should be treated with kind and respectful treatment. Bergh believed that laws should be passed to protect our four-legged friends. They were the first humane organization that was granted legal authority to investigate and make arrests for crimes against animals. Programs available at the ASPCA are a poison control center, an animal behavior program, animal hospital, mobile spay/neuter clinics, and pet loss support services. To learn more about the ASPCA and find a local organization near you, visit their website.
