Tis’ the season to be merry and jolly, but it’s also the season to give back to the community. When thinking about what to get your pets for the Holidays, you could always opt to the volunteer route. Although it isn’t a “real” present to give your pets, it will make you feel good and thankful about yourself, your family and of course your pets!
During the Holiday season, you can volunteer with the Humane Society. There are Humane Societies across the United States, where you can volunteer. The Humane Society of the United States is located in Washington, DC. On the Humane Society of the United States website, it has a drop down menu to show resources for: Animal Care community, Parents and Educators, Teens and Kids. In the Teens and Kids section it talks about how to get involved and how to help. Volunteers are always needed with your states Humane Society and are very much welcome!
If animal cruelty is something you want to stand up for, volunteering during the holidays with the ASPCA is the way to go. On their website, they have many tips as to make an animal’s life better. The ASPCA urges people to volunteer at their local shelter to help take care of the animals who reside there.
The ultimate gift to make an animal’s life better would be to adopt one. There are many animal rescue societies all over the country. You can even volunteer at the various rescue societies or hold an adoption event. On many different rescue society websites you can see the different dogs that they have ready for adoption, and all you need to do is fill out their applications and follow their directions, and you have already started to bring a better future to your new pet.
We hope that you bring happiness and joy to your furry friends this holiday season!
