What ways have you found to help animal rescue organizations?
Early New Year's Resolutions
Today, we had an invigorating breakfast meeting where we talk and about new goals for the new year. In this tough economy 2009 was hard on just about everybody. But the animal shelters and animal welfare organizations experienced undue hardships.
So many people's houses went into foreclosure that animal shelters were deluged with frightened, confused pets who suddenly became homeless overnight. The shelters have become overcrowded. Not as many people felt they could afford to adopt a shelter pet.
We're exploring ways that we can help animal shelters and organizations. We're looking at possibilities for doing fundraising and speaking engagements to increase awareness and funds for homeless animals.
Just a reminder that in this season of giving, please be sure to remember how much your local animal shelters (and even the national organizations) need your donations of time, materials, and money. Shelters with websites often list the types of donations they need. Things like blankets, food, toys, and crates go a long way toward helping them to survive.
The animals will thank you. They always do.

a Grayson HERE IS WHAT I AM WONDERING....
With all of the sports events in every major city why can't each event (basketball, hockey, baseball and football) ask
the people attending to bring say one can of dog food or donate a few bucks. Can you imagine how many dogs could be fed by one football game? Every major event could take
turns with helping humans with canned goods and with cats
and dogs with food. Most people would do it . What is... See More
2 or 3 more dollars to the amount they pay for tickets? Think of it . How many football games a week? How many hockey?
How many basketball and soon baseball with thousands of
people attending.
Also ask radio stations to help spread the word that you and other shelters need
help. Usually Country/Western stations are more prone to help out. With
a little effort a lot can be done. Contact the owners of the various teams or
the PR person , tell them what good PR for their team .
Give it a shot ....
