Helping to tackle the tough topic of animal abuse, Daniel Faalele of the Baltimore Ravens has teamed up with Show Your Soft Side for its long-running public service campaign.
Faalele is a proud pet parent of two rescue cats, Stokely (who struck a pose with her famous father for photographer Leo Howard Lubow) and Hendrix.
The offensive tackle has joined a long roster of “Softies” from the worlds of sports and entertainment who have stepped up for animals by stepping in front of a camera with either their own fur baby or an adoptable dog or cat.
The long-running campaign, which began as a way to teach compassion to impressionable youths in the Baltimore area who were led to believe that inflicting violence upon an animal is a measure of a man, Show Your Soft Side became a non-profit in 2013, and today reaches a nationwide audience.
Along with the photo campaign, the all-volunteer run nonprofit also provides teachers with the tools needed to teach children empathy toward animals through the Cool To Be Kind curriculum.
They offer financial aid for abused and neglected dogs through The Phoenix Fund. Slip leashes are provided for first responders throughout the US through the Love Leads Project.
They also help our feral feline friends in Baltimore through the Street Kitty Medical Fund and a free monthly Snip & Tip clinic–made possible through Show Your Soft Side and Homeward Bound– which helps the population of street cats.
