I'm bringing my Grandkids to the Shelters - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yup. My Granddaughter, who lives in Fl. will be coming in today. I've decided to bring her and my other granddaughter to two Animal Shelters on Saturday. NOT to adopt but for education. They need to see responsibility of animal ownership. They need to see the results of dogs and cats no longer wanted. They need to remember the sad eyes. Cruel? No I don't think so. It's reality time.
Now I don't know if I can handle it, lol but I have to do this for them. One is almost 9 and the other is 12 years. Both old enough.

I'd include in that visit some sort of donation....such as a bag of food.

I think that is a great idea. I also love the idea of donating a bag of food or going to Petco and picking out some toys to donate. Many shelters have a wish list posted on their website so you might check.

This is a great idea. I know for me though it is so hard to go in there I haven't been in there in a couple years

Breaks my heart, brings on the water falls! But I think I will have to go and do a donation of some kind, I actually think I want to start to donate my time again, I will have to be strong because last time I did in high school I would call home each time and beg mom to bring home another dog or cat that was homeless

I know they could always use nice clean towels. I buy about 25 at a time and bring them there. They really appreciate it.
