I have been involved with rescue in the past, but have had to slow down due to illness, but I would love to do so again and will talk with dh regarding how much we can both handle at this time. I would love to foster again, as it was one of the most rewarding times of my life. Of course, you are helping the animal in question in so many ways, but how it enriches your life is priceless.
We do donate in other different ways and also have donated our time at shelters too. One of the things I think most everyone can do is to begin to actively go to tag sales ( garage sales ). We have found blankets, towels, clean pads, beds, toys and food and you would not believe how little is asked for such items and if you mention that they will be donated to rescue... many times they are offered for free.
I know that this is just a small portion of ideas, but if we all work together it can make a huge difference.
Thank you again! |
Hey I never thought about going to garage sales for things and while at it we could pass out some fliers that would also show them what they can do to help. I am sure some people won't appreciate it but a lot would.
We should all keep some fliers in our purses in case the oppurtunity arises like the local grocery store if they have a bulletin board, the vets office etc.
I agree that we get as much out of giving and helping these dogs and rescues as they do in receiving.
