Easy
ways to help an animal rescue
1) Look around your house
for any items you don't need anymore that our
rescue could use, such as collars. leashes, food, water bowls, dog houses,
dog runs, and donate them.
2)
Look for all the above items at garage sales,
flee markets, and auctions and if reasonably priced and you can afford
them, get them and donate them to our rescue.
3) Tell
your family and friends
about our rescue and ask if they may have items they would be willing to
donate to help save lives.
4) Talk
to area merchants in your area
and ask if you could put out a donation container to help raise the funds
needed to care for rescued animals.
5)
Volunteer what time you can
on the weekends
to help take care of the animals during pet adoptions.
6)
Make, buy, or ask for donated
items that could
be sold at an auction to help raise the money needed to help save lives.
7)
Volunteer to foster one of our rescue animals.
8)
Volunteer to help provide care
for the animals at our rescue shelter during the week.
9)
Check where you work to see if they have programs where they donate money
to nonprofit organizations
or one where their employees do volunteer work for them. Wall Mart has
one, maybe others do too.
10)
Enter contests to win
pet items and donate them to our rescue.
11)
Tell everyone you know
about the
wonderful animals available through our rescue.
12)
Hold a community dog wash
and charge $5.00 to bath people's pets. This can be set up locally and is
a lot of fun in the summer. Merchants will agree to let you hold it at
their business because while you are bathing the animal they can shop.
Helps their business and raises money for rescue. You can get
volunteers by asking friends, relatives, local organizations. You can pass
out literature about the dog wash, and at the same time ask for
donations.
13) Save aluminum
cans and donate the
money you get for them to our rescue. Every little bit helps!
14)
Hold a Garage sale in
your community and donate the money to our rescue. If you do some
advertisement beforehand people will donate items for the sale. Be sure to
ask family members, friends, neighbors, and area merchants for donated
items.
15) Hold a bake
sale. Many merchants
will allow you to set up a table in front of their business and the money
will save lives.
16)
Check in your community and see
if anyone in your area has experience in writing grants.
Ask if they would be willing to help our rescue group write out an
application for a grant.
17) Don't buy
items from pet stores that sell animals.
Your money is helping these places stay in business and helps them buy
animals from the brokers who buy animals from puppy mills.
18) Write
letters to local, state, and national government
asking them to outlaw puppy mills and stop allowing them to torture
animals.
19) Help educate
your friends, children, and family members about responsible pet
ownership. Be sure they
know what a forever home is and help them learn how to care for their
pets.
