While the day encourages adoption, and many shelters may lower adoption fees to commemorate the event, we want everyone to know Changing a Pet's Life doesn’t require adopting a pet every year.
There are loads of ways to contribute to changing lives by volunteering at shelters, donating to rescue organizations and spreading awareness about responsible pet ownership. You don't have to give money, volunteering and spending time with pets in shelters is equally impawtant!
Whether it takes the form of monetary contributions, supply donations, online pet adoption awareness campaigns, or short-term foster care until an animal finds their forever home, demonstrating our love for these creatures will genuinely brighten our days as well!
Thus, let this unique day serve as motivation for us all year long—no matter how big or small—every contribution counts!

Keep Being AWESOME!
we agree, sensible adoption is a good thing, not every one is meant to be a pet parent, depends on health and money and lots of love and patience. that is why our shelters are full. our shelters here all have running lists of things they need on their web site. it takes a lot to care for the unwanted pets.. Also when adopting we need to be aware of what the dog personality is like, no high energy dogs for us old seniors. or sleepy dogs for kids.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to adopt 2 cats after Flynn's passing, but it was soon after I was told the cancer had metastasised and we decided to do as much as possible in the time I had. If I had known I would still be here nearly 8 years later our decision would probably have been very different. I still love and miss those boys as much as I always have.
ReplyDeleteBatman Kozmo battling fur lonely kitties! I was saved furom the orphanage in January 12 years ago! Just a'cause I was bee-u-tee-full in my grey onesie. Wish all kitties were saved. Lynn had stacks of treat foods furom my experience with Dr. Feelbad and she took it all to the orphanage this month. We saw how deep the snow was when Kozmo wanted a walk way cleared! Makes us glad we only got about 16 inches in a frozen snow pack and Lynn sweeps away each fresh snow to git to the burd feeders.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific holiday!
