We are proud to launch "Project
Happy Birthday." Here's the idea: Many of us celebrate our
pets' birthdays or the anniversary of their arrival in our home.
This year, as part of your celebration, make a donation to your
local animal shelter, humane society, or other animal welfare
group. It needn't be a lot of money. If every pet owner contributed
$5.00 to honor their pets' birthdays, our shelters would receive
millions of dollars! Please pass this idea on. If we all give
a little, we can make a big difference in the lives of homeless
animals. Then they might have a "happy birthday" too.
Don't celebrate pet birthdays? How about
a donation when your best buddy "gets" housetraining,
learns to use a scratching post, or keeps you company when you
get the flu?
In addition to money, many shelters
maintain "wish lists" of items or services they need.
Towels and blankets, for example, are always in demand.
And shelters aren't the only worthy
recipients of your donation. Many nonprofit organizations train
dogs to assist humans who face a physical challenge. These dogs
make a real difference in the lives of the humans they serve.
Shelters, humane societies, and rescue
groups provide a wealth of services for animals and the people
who love them. Some of them have extensive resources to offer.
Here are links to web sites for some shelters. We're also providing
a link to the National Shelter Directory. Take a look! Content
of these sites is the responsibility of each site's organization,
of course.
