Help around the holidays

Volunteers rush around, scrubbing cages, walking dogs, filling up food bowls, patting pups on the head. Shelters are busy....often they have lots of animals to take care of....to feed, to clean up after, to exercise, to love. It is very hard for them.

How do I help?

How are you supposed to help these animals and people? There are lots of ways!
1. Donate food, money, treats, toys, or your time! Check with your local shelter and get a list of what they need.
2. Volunteer your time to help take care of the animals at your local shelter. Common jobs are cleaning, exercising, feeding, spending time with, and training animals.
3. Foster animals for a shelter. Foster animals stay in your home until the shelter has found them a permanent home.
4. Adopt pet(s)! There are millions of loving animals waiting for loving homes, and if you could provide one, please do!

But please don't adopt a pet for a christmas present. Think it through, it's a lot of hard work and commitment.

Yes. If you would like to adopt a pet for a family member, please have that member spend time at a shelter, volunteering, and spending time with the pet that you are considering to adopt. Pet ownership is serious. You can't just get a dog, chain it to your shed and leave it with a bowl of stale IAMS and expect it to be wonderful and sweet. You are responsible to 1. provide shelter, food, water, and veterinarian care 2. socialization 3. human contact. If you can't do all of that, don't get a pet.
