Animal advocate and pint-sized philanthropist, Madison S., celebrated her 8th birthday this year by asking for Wal-Mart gift cards from family and friends so she could go shopping. But instead of spending the money on herself, Madison purchased supplies for the animals at the Humane Society of Northeast Texas.

Madison is shown here with just a small portion of her $350 pet food and supplies donation. Thanks, Madison, for making a difference in the lives of so many shelter pets!
