There’s a place in your community where the hungry are fed, the homeless are sheltered, and the abandoned are provided care. It’s your local animal shelter, which provides comfort and care for unwanted animals.
    To do all this, it relies on support from people like you. Here are a few ways you can help animals, especially at your local shelter:
    Firstly, give a little bit. Donate food, old blankets, towels, or other needed supplies. Contribute to one of its special programs. Lend a hand, volunteer your time. Bathe and groom the animals, walk dogs, or play with cats. Stuff envelopes for a mailing. Tell your friends about your shelter’s services. Promote animal safety and responsible pet ownership.
    Secondly, be a responsible pet owner. Keep current identification on your dog or cat at all times. Spay or neuter your pet. Always keep your dog or cat properly confined or supervised. In addition to the basics--food, water, shelter, and veterinary care—give your pet lots of love and attention. Be a hero. Report animal cruelty and neglect as well as injured or stray animals. You may prevent suffering and even save a life. Teach the children well. Instruct children in how to care for animals properly and how to treat them with kindness. Set an example by doing the same.
