Our 1000th sponsored dog is MEEMAW! 🎉

She was found as a stray at 12 years old. Her eye was very swollen due to glaucoma. With your help, we sponsored this sweet potato's care, including surgery to remove her damaged eye. She’s been recovering ever since, and just look at her now ✨

"Approximately 43 million people in the US speak Spanish as their primary language...14% of the entire population. If those who speak Spanish as their second language are included, then the US is the second-largest Spanish-speaking country in the world"
Making English the official US language can’t erase the fact that the US has millions of Spanish speakers and a long multilingual history
Trump’s campaign produced campaign materials in Spanish to reach more voters. Now that he’s president, his White House is going English-only.
