1	Remember Me Jewelry Remember Me Jewelry is a creative tool to reduce the numbers of unwanted animals that have to be euthanized simply because they have no home. Each piece of Remember Me Jewelry is lovingly crafted and incorporates an actual tag worn by an animal euthanized in a North Texas shelter. All proceeds from Remember Me Jewelry are donated to local shelters to fund spay/neuter programs. This in turn helps control animal overpopulation and prevent the killing of innocent animals.	145

Over 10 million animals are put to death every year in the U.S. alone because they are abandoned and unwanted. Each click on the purple "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button at The Animal Rescue Site provides food and care for a rescued animal living in a shelter or sanctuary.	121
