| a challenge for you this is to everyone... I would like to ask you to google your local humane society, get directions and take a tour of their facility. Take a gift with you.... here is a simple recipe or if you could use your own.. 1/2 cup cornmeal 6 tbsp Oil 2 cups whole wheat flour 2/3 cup water or broth Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together well. Roll out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes with cooky cutter. Bake 35-40 mins, let cool and store in tightly sealed container. here is another...................... Milk Bone Dog Biscuits 3/4 cup hot water 1/3 cup margarine 1/2 cup powdered milk 1 teaspoon salt 1 egg, beaten 3 cups whole wheat flour Variation: increase margarine to 1/2 cup and add 2 teaspoons sugar In large bowl pour hot water over the margarine. Stir in powdered milk, salt, and egg. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Knead for a few minutes to form stiff dough. Pat or roll to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into bone shapes. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes. Cool. They will dry out quite hard. Makes about 1 1/4 pounds of biscuits. Costs around 30 cents per pound. most shelters would use about the same things i would suppose. here is a copy of the list from my local humane society. you could even go into the dollar store and buy one or two of these items without breaking your bank. Office Supplies 8 ½ x 11 paper Staples Pens Pencils Paper clips Computer Ink Cartridges CD R’s File Folders Labels Envelopes – all sizes Kennel Supplies Dog & Cat Toys: To entertain and amuse our dogs and cats . Dog & Cat Beds: Beds for the pets to sleep in or relax in. Stainless Steel Food & Water Bowls: To feed and provide water for our hungry and thirsty animals. Large Blankets and Comforters: Used to provide softer bedding for the dogs and puppies to sleep and relax on. Large and X-Large Crates: To help the shelter animals with housebreaking, separation anxiety and transportation purposes. Pet Leashes (slip leashes): Used to walk the dogs. Cat Litter - Eliminate Odor in the shelter. Miscellaneous Needs Digital Cameras: To take pictures of our animals for their website for adoption purposes. Grooming Supplies (Shampoo/Conditioner/Brushers, etc for dog, cat, puppies and kittens Daily Needs Newspaper: For lining animal cages. Paper Towels: For quick clean ups. Bleach: for bleaching dirty laundry to make sure it is clean. Powdered laundry detergent: To clean blankets, towels, and food dishes. Bounce Dryer Sheets Trash Bags (kitchen and liner trash bags): they use these every day to dispose of soiled newspaper from the cages. Sponges (all sizes): For cleaning the shelter animal bowls and dishes. Anti-Bacterial Dish Soap: For cleaning the shelter animal bowls and dishes. Hand Sanitizer: To help prevent cross contamination. Latex Gloves – To protect employees

| I also wanted to add that while at the humane society today donating some things I met one dog that had no ears...... no ears.. the owner had cut the ears off!!! cut the ears off!!!! it had ran away from the owner. can you blame it? If you can possibly donate anything... do it.. they need things... the toys that i donated was really appriciated by all the puppies.... those gruffle balls was a big time hit! I found this also.... http://www.sheltercare.com/shelters/banners.asp

| I forgot to add also you can take a bag of carrots with you. walk through and give everyone a treat at low cost to you. depending on the size of your area you can do it all in just a 1/2 hr or so. not much out of a busy week is it?

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Great idea. Friday I dropped off 5 crates/carriers, blankets, carpeted stairs and cat condos to Save A Pet no kill shelter in my area and they were so grateful. I walked in the small dog room and my heart broke. They were hiring a part time adoption counselor but I don't think I could handle seeing so many sad animals. I do plan on going back periodically and giving donations.

| I donated a big bag of puppy food yesterday. How come I could not think of other things else that I could give, like pens, I have tons of those that I can use for my whole life, literally. The human society is a bit far from where I live, I passed by there only when I go for a Korean BBQ restaurant for dinner. So next time I will for sure donate some other items, then go for the BBQ restuarant just to reward myself, hehe.
