"Be Kind To Animals. For In So Doing, Some Have Entertained Angels Without Knowing It"
(please turn up speakers)
You don’t have to be an animal expert to help out at your community’s shelter. Since shelters survive on donations, you won't be turned away. Here are some ideas:
1. Offer to walk the dogs and pay attention to them. 2. Bring up snacks to hand out to the animals in their cages. 3. Offer to visit the cats and to pay attention to them 4. Donate old sheets, blankets, towels and washclothes 5. Donate bags or cans of food 6. Offer to help clean the cages and the building 7. Offer to brush the animals, bathe them 7. Donate your professional services (Dog training, professional groomer, vet-tech, veterinarian, lawyer, accoutant, etc. Any professional service the shelter would have to pay for without your help.)
