Shelters – can use your help
Last time Angel talked about finding your next companion and what a great resource your local animal shelter can be.
If you already have a great pet, but would like to help other animals who aren’t as lucky, animal shelters can always use food, towels (both cloth and paper), laundry detergent, toys, food, litter, soft blankets, food, leashes and collars.
And, did I mention…food?
There are always far more pets than people to adopt them. Even though shelters do their best, the fact remains that with so many animals, supplies run out long before need does.
Donating these items to your local shelter can help many cats and dogs realize a better chance to find a loving home.
Donating your time or services (cleaning cages, walking dogs, writing advertising, typing, filing, phone coverage, etc.) will help immensely as well. The Humane Society of the United States has great tips on how to volunteer or otherwise get involved.
