Help a (homeless) animal out

Ever wish you could do something to help those sweet dogs and cats looking to be adopted at the pet store? Here’s your chance, because August 21st is International Homeless Animals Day! Here, ideas for helping our furry friends:

  • Volunteer at a shelter Cleaning cages and crates are one jobbut it’s not the only one. Shelters often need volunteers to help with office work, take photos of pets that are up for adoption, and even update their website. Find a local shelter at petfinder.com .
  • Collect donations Set up a lemonade stand and announce that proceeds will go to a local shelter or animal organization, like the ASPCA . You can also collect blankets, towels, food, or toys to give to a shelter.
  • Open your home A parent’s worst nightmare, right? Adopting a pet can be a boatload of work, but think about it this way: if everyone chips in, then it’s not just your pet, but a family pet. Animals can be a great comfort, not just a terror, and adoption or foster care is a way to teach responsibility to kids.
