Volunteering... Short On Time
You may be interested in some way helping your local shelter or rescue
group, but realize that you have very little, if any, time to give. Rest
assured there is place for you!
Financial gifts and donations are always welcome and are usually sorely
needed; most shelters and rescue groups rely on public funding to remain
active. Any amount will be appreciated.
Another way to help is to donate materials for the dogs. Shelters and
kennels need them and are always looking for more. Items such as
newspaper, blankets, crates, paper towels, bags of food, toys, towels - all
of these are often in short supply. Look around your home for inspiration,
or call your local shelter, humane society or rescue groups to see what
they need most.
You can also give donations to your favorite dog group by purchasing
items from local fundraising events. Raffle tickets (with usually very nice
prizes), toys, treats, t-shirts, and other various dog-related items are
often sold during these events. This way you'll know the profits are being
used for a good cause. You can often buy items on-line through the
Internet from organizations seeking funds, too, especially during holidays,
when special items are promoted to help raise funds. So when you hear of
an event, find something you like and make a purchase!
