Best Friends Weekend

Posted by Joy Butler Jun 21, 2006

Best Friends Day is June 23rd and the whole weekend is Best Friends Weekend. Everyone, everywhere is encouraged to perform a special act of kindness (AOK) for an animal friend and make the world a little nicer place. Public opinion is slowly changing about the way animals are treated and Best Friends Animal Society offers space on its website to record your AOK on their kindness odometer. A small amount of effort can make a huge difference. Donate to your favorite animal charity, help out for an hour or so at your local pet shelter, donate a doghouse to your neighbor's dog, eat a vegetarian meal, urge your friends to spay/neuter their pets, or be creative with your own ideas. Make it a fun project and get the whole family involved. Then visit Best Friends Day 2006 and share how you made a difference.
