It's the season for giving so can't we all try to take a minute to run past the dog and cat toys while we're out shopping and pick up one toy or bag of treats to drop off at the nearest shelter? It does'nt have to be expensive. Anything would probably be truly appreciated by both the animals who are stressed from sheer boredom and the staff who care for these animals as best they can.
Alot of these shelters don't have the funds to provide the animals with any more than the basics and feel lucky they can do that.One toy or bag of treats won't help one bit.But if 30 or 40 people dropped off just one thing imagine how much happier these animals would be having something to interact or cuddle with while they're sitting in a cage waiting for a forever home and someone to love them.
Alot of people say they want to help these animals but don't know how. Here's your chance.

you are very sweet for puttin this out there...i feel the exact same. we go there alot with our son just to play with them since we cant have one where we live :( just for fun times i guess, kinda weird but the animals enjoy the attention and my child LOVES it...great to do during the winter since we dont go outside much. but we do this all year round

Actually if you want to help you can also call the local shelter, many need things like blankets for the animals, this is something you may even have at home, as it does not have to be new, just clean. Either that or volunteer your time, spending time with the animals, or walking them means a lot to them as well and socializes the animal helping it become a better pet for its future family.

All ready did today! :) I brought down to our local pound a 50 pound bag of good food (not junk). A 30 pound box of dog bones and a few toys for the younger and older dogs to play with. I was very happy to see only 5 dogs in our pound now. Some have been returned to their worried owners and some have been adopted to new homes!
I go down every 2 weeks to help and see what I can do.

Also every time you go to buy your animal a bag of food or treats pick up an extra one make it count all year long!

Very good idea! Besides food, toys, and treats....shelters are usually in need of old blankets and towels, volunteers, and monitary donations. That leaves it open for anyone to help out, whether you have extra money or not.
