Pay it Forward at your local Animal Shelter

Pay it Forward at your local Animal Shelter

Picture of puppy and kitten

I do not recall a time when we did not have a family pet.  From my first puppy, a black cocker spaniel named Lucky, to my current dog, a blue tick hound named Zeke.  Over the years we've had cats, dogs, mice, bunnies, a goat and a horse.  Our pets have brought so much joy and have asked so little in return, they really do become part of the family.  Even our goat, Cecil.  CA taught him to play fetch and she would let him in the house when my husband and I were at work.  Cecil's story is a blog in itself, so I'll save it.  But suffice it to say, our family loves animals!

This week, I'm Paying it Forward by helping to fill some of the wish list items for the New Hanover Humane Society.  The New Hanover Humane Society, in Wilmington, NC is a non-profit animal shelter.  And their wishlist is pretty basic.  They'd like some blankets, rugs, hand sanitizer, trash bags, cat and dog toys and a few other things.  I can't fill all the needs, but I can help a little, so I'm putting together a couple of boxes and CA and I are heading over there on Monday.  I have to watch her carefully though, she'll try to bring at least 3 of the adoptable pets home witPicture of a dogh her! 

Won't you please consider helping your local animal shelter fill their wish list?  If we all did just a little, we could really make a difference.  And if you are considering getting a pet, please check your local animal shelter first!  The animals there need you as much as you need them!

This is an area that is neglected most of the year.  They do a lot of good many times on a tight budget.   I was on our local board for 4 years some years back and learned an awful lot!

I just happen to have the envelope sitting next to me as I am typing this.  It's not great company sitting there, so I guess I will just have to put something in it and send it off!

Great idea, Tish! My office did some work with Foreclosed Upon Pets in the spring. Now would be a perfect time to revisit their wish list.

I'm paying forward this weekend myself for the animals. I'm going to be Santa of pictures of your pets with Santa for a fund raiser at a local PetSmart where the proceeds are going to a no-kill animal shelter.
