The purpose of the #AmericaIsKind Challenge is simple:

We want to spread gratitude & acts of good while highlighting the work of great charities.

We want to start a wildfire kindness and positivity online and in everyday life.

So if you are tired of negativity, strife & division—especially on social media—

Take the #AmericaIsKind Challenge!

– Feel GRATITUDE

– Do GOOD

– SHARE KINDNESS on social media

The theme of DAY TWO of the #AmericaIsKind Challenge is PETS, and our Charity of the Day is the Humane Society of the United States.

Of course you are familiar with the Humane Society for local shelters and pet adoption, but do you know about their disaster response, mobile veterinary clinics, street dog program, animal rescues and wildlife protection programs? Or that the Humane Society globally cares for 100,000+ animals per year? Learn more at www.HumaneSociety.org.

“Our most important goal is to prevent animals from getting into situations of distress in the first place. We confront the largest national and international problems facing animals…We are the nation’s largest and most effective animal protection organization.”

Today’s GRATITUDE:

“I am thankful for the love of a current or former pet.”

I’m grateful for Oxley the Welsh Terrier, who is my little writing buddy & furry guardian angel

Today’s suggested Acts of Good:

Good: Post a photo or video of your pet and share a funny or inspirational story about how they’ve helped you through a tough time

Good: On social media, tag all the pet lovers you know and remind them to give their animals special treats and cuddles today. While you’re at it, give your own fur baby extra love

Good: Offer to walk a neighbor’s dog or watch their cat while they are away

Good: If you want a pet, consider adoption at your local Humane Society first. If you have already adopted a pet, share your story online with the Humane Society and on social media

Good: Help your local Humane Society: Volunteer your time, donate pet food, sign the pledge to Be Cruelty Free, or give a monthly contribution

My acts of good today will be to make a donaiton to the Humane Society and to give Oxley some extra love and treats tonight

Once you’ve done one of these things, share your gratitude and kindness on social media and tag 3-5 friends to take the #AmericaIsKind Challenge.

Share your gratitude, share your acts of good, and help start a WILDFIRE of kindness and positivity this November with the #AmericaIsKind Challenge!
