Ways to Help a Pet Health Care Charity
Article by JessM
Most towns have one or more pet health care charity. Most often they take the form of an animal shelter, where stray or unwanted animals are housed, fed and given all the necessary veterinary treatment before being rehomed with a new family. Such organisations are costly to run and they always appreciate support in any shape or form from the local community, so here are a few ways to help.
First of all, you could make a practical donation. This could be some pet food. Many supermarkets have a bin placed near the exit where you can place a tin or more of pet food. This is a very easy way of making a difference to a pet health care charity. Other donations could include new, unwanted animal toys or beddings.
Secondly, there is the obvious answer of making a financial donation. The pet health care shelter will always appreciate donations. However, if you don’t feel that you are able to make a substantial donation yourself but would still like to make a difference, think about holding a fundraiser. This gives you the chance to donate your time in order to raise money and could be done in a number of ways, depending on your skills and interests. You could hold a jumble sale of unwanted items, sell cakes and coffee or participate in a sporting challenge in return for sponsorship from friends and relatives.
Finally, in order to make the ultimate difference to a pet health care charity, you could adopt an animal. If you are able to give a dog or cat a loving, safe and stable home then you are the perfect candidate. Unfortunately, adopting an animal is not practical for everyone. Luckily, there is also the option of sponsoring an animal which for one reason or another may not be able to be rehomed.
