This site is dedicated to all the animals in America that have lost their lives in vain and those that sit and wait for someone to save them.

PainfulTruth.org has many reasons for being here. We are here to be a home base for rescue operations across the United States. To encourage readers to get involved in their community helping animals in need. Educate the public on animal abuse and neglect. Highlight those animals and people that have gave so much if not everything. The survival celebrations, as well as the heartaches, keep pushing us to keep going. We know we can not save them all but one by one together we can save them. It is the Painful Truth.

Every penny donated will be used towards pulling death row animals before they are euthanized. Get them their shots and other vet care that is needed. Donations are also used to help in transportation to get the animals to rescues across the United States. Sometimes the only thing between life and death for them is just a ride or a foster home.

Meet Penny she is the latest death row dog that Painfultruth.org is saving. She is a young Pit mix that came from Kansas City, MO. She arrived in our care on Sunday, December 6th, 2009. She was pulled soon before she was to be put to sleep and put into temporary foster care until her transport to us. The shelter spayed, micro chipped and gave her all her shots to prepare her for her journey. We will update her page on the site as we get to know her!
