Share your Story

YOU have a powerful story to share. Your story can help people around the world. Please help build our inspiring collection of stories by sharing some aspect of your journey to animal lovers.This will help us to create a beautiful place for animals.

There are no rules or requirements for your story. This is an opportunity for you to share YOUR story in your own words!

• Anonymity: Your submission can be anonymous, if you wish.
• Length: There is no required length or limit to your story — it can be as short or long as you want it to be.
• Language: We invite you to write your story in the language of your heart and if that language is not English, we may have your story translated. If we do, both versions of your story will appear on the site, the original story and the translation. If you prefer to translate the story yourself, that would be wonderful (but it is not required).
• Dedication: You may choose to dedicate your story to someone who has inspired you or touched your life

If you are not sure where to begin, here are some questions to consider in telling your story, but certainly not requirements:

• How/when did you first learn to accept yourself as an animal lover?
• Was there a breakthrough moment when you first recognized your inner compassion towards animals?
• How did you learn the importance of believing that animals have some rights and we have to acknowledge that?
• How have you overcome the unrealistic expectations of others?
• Or, not a question but a suggestion instead – you can choose to begin your story with the words, “I am an animal lover because…”

Please note that while it is our intention to publish all submitted stories, on very rare occasions we do not post a story. Typically, these are stories where:

(1) publication may increase the risk of harm to the storyteller;

(2) the storyteller is advocating violence, hatred, or self-harm; or

(3) the story is requesting funds, financial support, donations or purchases of some kind.

While we understand the genuine need of many individuals and organizations throughout the world, we have created a place where all that is asked of people is to share their inspiring stories if they choose to do so.

For anyone – at any age – sharing her story anonymously, we reserve the right to remove from your story details such as names, places, or other information that could reveal your identity.
