This year, July 24-30 marks “Feed a Rescue Pet Week”. This observance is extremely important to animal shelters and can help the animals in their care immensely.
Many animal rescue organizations rely on donations to maintain their establishment. Donating food to these places impacts their ability to provide the best care to the animals. By donating food, they can allocate their resources towards other vital needs, like spaying/neutering and medical care that some animals will need.
How can you observe “Feed a Rescue Pet Week”? Here are 3 ideas.
Donate.
It’s a simple idea but a few dollars can go a long way. Donate to your local animal shelter to ensure they can provide the essentials to the animals in their care.
Volunteer.
Volunteering at your local shelter can mean adopting, walking the dogs at the shelter, cleaning a cage, feeding or just spending time with the animals. This helps the animals remain healthy, happy and have a better chance at finding their forever home.
Adopt.
If you are in the position to care for an animal, consider adopting a pet. These animals have so many pros to them, and at the end of the day you are saving a life.
