Ways to volunteer at an animal rescue or shelter when you have
little or no time.
Many of us want to help out animals but if you work
and have children that leaves little or no spare time. Here are five ways you
could help out your community rescue.
1. Share
facebook posts. You probably follow a rescue or two, why not share a post of an
available animal? You never know, maybe one of your friends may be looking for
that special pet. If you’re worried about clogging your wall up with animals
looking for a home, just share one or two a week.
2. Print
out flyers from rescue websites and pin them to community bulletin boards. Many
of the rescue’s websites have a feature where you can print out flyers of the
animals available. Just print out a couple and pin them to community bulletin
boards at work, pet stores, vet offices, and supermarkets.
3. Donate
extra supplies. Old towels, blankets, cages, and toys are great. If you can
swing it, how about picking up an extra pack of puppy pads or paper towels the
next time you're out shopping?
4. Dog
walkers. Many of the people who foster have multiple animals and could use the
help. The dogs also get socialized with other people. It’s a win-win situation.
5. Fostering.
This one seems scary but is most rewarding. For every animal that is fostered
it saves a life. Opening your home to a homeless animal is the best feeling.
These animals have had a rough past and appreciate the love and care you can
give them.
So now you have no excuse. Go out there and help out an animal rescue or shelter.
