Texas Pet Shelter Receives Thanksgiving Meal Donations! Here's How You Can Help
A pet shelter in Texas received many Thanksgiving meal donations, allowing the organization to feed the animals in the facility. This shows that people are not the only ones that can enjoy Thanksgiving Day.
This national holiday is being celebrated by many people across different countries for many years now. These include residents in Canada, the United States, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia.
Thanksgiving Day, which happens every Nov. 25, is based on the colonial Pilgrims' harvest meal, which started back in 1621. This holiday celebration is actually about showing gratitude, as well as sharing your blessings with other people.
But, you can also share it with your pets, especially those furries living in animal shelters.
