Let's Present Warm Winter To Animals
Who DON'T HAVE a Warm Home!

I happened to know ARK (Animal Refugee Kansai) on TV. This organization saved more than 600 dogs and cats after that terrible earthquake in Kansai area. After watching their action, I found a book "Best Friends" written by Elizabeth Oliver, who is the representative of ARK.
I think everyone who loves animals wants to be a society without unhappy animals. ARK is a very reliable non-profit, non-governmental private organization. We have wanted to cooperate with ARK and have searched the way we could.
This time we started the campaign and we think donating pet foods and goods which you don't need is a nice recycle idea. If this system goes well, we can help animals who don't have a home.
We also ask you to remember them when you want a new family member with 4 legs.
Thank you.
