IF you have never volunteered at a shelter, there's tons of fun ways to help. Here's a few ideas:
-Volunteer one day a week either walking, cleaning, or reading to the pets. You may have to have special training to get started. Ask a friend to go with you if you need a buddy to get started!
-Call the shelter and see if they need a baby pool or two for the dogs to cool off in! Think of ways to either get one donated (always start s with a conversation!) or raise the money to buy them.
-Learn to crochet, knit, or sew. Look on Pinterest for the easiest handmade dog and cat beds, or doggy sweater, or small pet blankets. Donate one or two to the shelter, or sell them online and donate the money.
-Grow some catnip. Search for "Handmade Cat Toys" and create some treats to drop off for the kitties either at the shelter or the ones that are housed inside your local Petsmart.
-Hold a yard sale and then donate the proceeds to your local shelter or rescue. This is a fun way to get involvement from a troop, class, club, or neighborhood.
-Research online for more ways to help shelter pets in ways that you enjoy!
