You had to know there was another animal related post coming as part of my 31 Things project!
The no-kill shelter that we are fostering Duke through provides everything you need to foster a pet; food, crate (if needed), dishes, veterinary care, and medicine. The idea is that fostering doesn’t become cost prohibitive for anyone. If you have a home and the desire to share it with an animal in need, they want to make it possible. You just have to pick up food and any other supplies at the shelter whenever you need them.
We elected not to take food the last time we were there, instead we bought a bag ourselves. A bag of dog food isn’t that much, but it was something we were able to do to help save the shelter a little money, so they can put that toward helping another animal.
That's awesome Danielle! As a rescuer that's something that really means a lot and can make such a huge difference. Loving your list so far :)
ReplyDeleteAww thanks! It's nice to hear from someone with a rescue that it was helpful. :-)
DeleteThat was a great thing to do. I know I had some dog food that didn't agree with Koda so I donated it to someone that did rescue with dogs and have also taken other dog food that didn't agree with Koda (he's got a sensitive stomach) when we went to feed the homeless and there were some that had pets so they appreciated having food for them too.

That's so nice of you to do. I'm sure the homeless folks are touched that you care about the pets too.
DeleteThat's an awesome thing to do. Shelters need all the help they can get, and I'm positive they appreciated your gift! :)
ReplyDeleteEvery little bit helps, right?
