Make a difference, today.

Please take a minute to read this post, it's worth it:

As everyone knows, Hurricane Harvey was the first of several disasters to ravage our nation over the last month, and the ramifications are going to be felt for years to come. I moved to Texas the week of Harvey, so I've witnessed the devastation for myself, and to describe it as anything less than catastrophic would be an injustice.

What breaks my heart the most is seeing the thousands of animals left behind as their families were evacuated, rescued, or in some situations, worse. These cats and dogs went from household pets to fighting for their lives in a matter of hours, emerging in the aftermath of Harvey as the most vulnerable, and widely underrepresented, group.

Shelters in Houston and the surrounding cities are overflowing with pets they aren't equipped to support. Volunteers have come out of the woodwork to offer their time, but the biggest hurdle for these shelters still remains: funding. At Dell EMC we have begun fundraising efforts for Austin Pets Alive!, a local non-kill shelter doing amazing work to save these animals. However, we can't do it alone. I implore all of you to please give to this amazing cause... every single dollar counts.
