Thank you from Socrates!

rikkis3

My name is Socrates. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for supporting Rikki’s Refuge. I also want to tell you what your support of Rikki’s Refuge means for me. It means I have enough to eat every day. It means I have shelter. It means that I get veterinary care when I need it. It means that every single day someone loves me. It means that I got a second chance to live my life. I am grateful that you care about me. 

You can help me, and all 1300 animals at Rikki’s Refuge, many ways!
