This community was built to connect animal lovers with resources, organizations, stories, and opportunities that help animals around the world. Whether you're here to learn, be inspired, discover ways to help, or simply enjoy spending time with fellow animal lovers, you're in the right place. Ways You Can Support Animals Through This Community 🐾 Premium Membership Your membership helps support animal organizations every month! 🐾 Cause & Chaos Graphic Tees Wear your compassion. A portion of every sale helps support animal-related causes. 🐾 Love Doesn't Stink This children's story was inspired by a rescued skunk named Tami Tango. All proceeds go to All Things Wild for the care and protection of skunks. 🐾 Purchasing With Purpose Shop through the affiliate link and a portion of your purchase goes to support the organizations that you choose. 🐾 Paws & Wings Rescue Finder A free resource designed to help connect people with wildlife rehabilitators, rescues, shelters, lost pet resources, and other animal assistance when it's needed most. All the above resources can be found in our Classroom. How Giving Back Works One of my favorite parts of this community is that we decide together where the donations go. Each month, we'll vote on an animal organization, rescue, sanctuary, or wildlife group to receive the funds raised through community-supported projects. Together, small actions can create meaningful change. Thank you for being part of Empowering Animals and for helping create a place where compassion, education, and action come together. ❤️🐾

I am in two communities that do trivia games, which are super fun. I thought I might try something here and call it. ☕ Tea Time Trivia I’m going to give you an example and you tell me if you like it. We can play Tea Time Trivia On Tuesdays. The largest bird nest ever recorded measured 9.5 feet wide, 20 feet deep, and weighed more than 4,400 pounds. Which bird built it? No Googling! 😄 Drop your guess and thoughts below and I’ll post the answer later today. 🐾 Happy Friday!

Pardon Me. Just Passing Through.

Adelina brought it to my attention that Empowering Animals was featured in the Skool Ads! How cool is that?! 😁 Seeing our community appear alongside other Skool communities was such a fun surprise. Thank you to everyone who has joined, supported, commented, shared, and helped us grow. We are all part of this beautiful journey for the animals. ❤️🐾 Share Love Make an Impact.

I got home around 1:00 AM yesterday after spending two wonderful weeks in California with family. There was good food, time in the garden, camera adventures, and plenty of hanging out with the little ones. It was exactly the kind of time I needed. My cats hadn’t seen me in two weeks, and I think they spent most of yesterday attached to my face. I’m pretty sure leaving for work this morning will be a major betrayal in their eyes. Getting back into a routine is always a little challenging for me. Some parts of life I‘m ready to jump back into, and other parts make me wonder if there’s a better way. I think a lot of us live somewhere between creating the life we want and spending 10 hours a day doing what pays the bills. I don’t know about you, but work really cuts into my social life and I’m ready to continue building the life I love! 👏😊 Thank you for being here. Thank you for your patience while I was away. And thank you for caring about the animals that bring us all together. The photos below are from a family project we worked on during my visit. We built ten 8’ x 12’ metal garden beds, lined the bottoms with wood, added cow manure, and topped them with enriched organic soil. They were finished the day I left, so now the fun part begins. I’m excited to see what they’ll grow first! 🌱
