Show Your Support with a Helping Hand (or Paw!)

Many shelters rely on volunteers to walk dogs, socialize cats, and help with daily cleaning.
Donating your time and skills makes a world of difference for these animals.
The Power of “Pawsitive” Social Media
In today’s digital world, social media can be a powerful tool for good.

There are simple things you can do at home to support shelters.
Make sure your own pets are spayed or neutered to help combat pet overpopulation.
Ensure your furry friends have proper identification tags in case they get lost.

The joy of volunteering, the unconditional love of a rescued pet, and the satisfaction of making a difference in your community are all rewards of a “giving is living” approach.
