Pet overpopulation, neglect & homelessness is a big issue that impacts not only the lives of animals but your heart & entire community. Whether you are giving your time by stuffing & licking envelopes for the next fundraiser, passing out fliers for the shelter upcoming car & dog wash or donating money, every bit helps pets in need. When our hearts unite to advocate for animals we can save & enrich lives. Here are some ways you can help!

Be Responsible. The first step towards responsible pet ownership by keeping a watchful eye on your pet. To keep your pet from becoming a lost soul, keep current identification on your dog or cat at all times so your pet can be returned home safely. Be part of the solution to pet overpopulation & homelessness by spaying & neutering your pet. In any event, your dog or cat should be properly supervised. Make sure all doors, windows and fences are securely latched so your pet does not become a runaway in distress. In addition to the basics—food, water, shelter, and veterinary care—give your pet lots of love and attention.

Make a donation to your local animal shelter, charity or rescue. Check with your local shelter to see if they have a wish or needs list. Donate usable pet food, old blankets and towels, or other needed supplies that you may otherwise discard. This is a great way for you to lower carbon paw print. By giving back & donating useable items, not only do you help your local animal charity, rescue or shelter but are helping the planet. You can also contribute to one of your local shelters special programs & help with one of their campaigns.
