Congratulations on adopting your new pet! Supporting the shelter where you found him is a wonderful way to give back, while ensuring the well-being of your furry friend. You can do both by choosing certain products or volunteering your time.
- Purchase supplies from shelters or lists that give back to animal organizations.
- Volunteer to help at the shelter during your pet-friendly activities.
- Engage your pet with activities that also benefit the shelter, such as sponsored walks.
Many animal shelters have partnerships with companies that donate a portion of their proceeds to support shelter operations. By purchasing from these sources, you're indirectly supporting shelters. Consider donating supplies like food, blankets, or toys that you purchase in bulk for your pet. Volunteering at the shelter, including simple tasks like walking dogs or cleaning up, can directly contribute to the shelter's mission. Furthermore, engaging in interactive and fun activities such as "sponsored walks" can raise funds while keeping your pet active and happy.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
