Giving to Non-Profits that help animals in need.
A HUGE HURRAY for all those that help animals in need.
If you are anything like me, you are a huge animal lover,
but hate to see the reality of animal neglect and abuse on those sad commercial
ads asking for your donations. I am truly the faint-hearted animal lover. I knew from an early age that I wanted to do
something with animals, but knew I never had the – courage, strength, stomach
(I’m not really sure what you would call it), but I knew I couldn’t work with
animals in the capacity of seeing abuse, or the stomach for being a
veterinarian. I have the utmost respect
for all individuals that are able to work directly with animals in need of help
in every aspect. I have spent my life
saying I wanted to do something that can help animals. So, I have rescued many animals and made them
a part of my family or found homes for them.
I have donated to multiple animal organizations and helped to spread the
word on the few pet organizations that I knew were doing great things for
animals in need. However, I knew in my
heart it was never enough.
Shopforpaws.com began because of my desire to help animals
in need. I love my online pet supply
store and feel we have quality product for pet lovers, as well as their dogs
and cats. Shopforpaws.com gives back a
portion of every sale to animal rescue non-profit organizations. As the business grows, so will the portion of
donations going to animals in need.
When it was suggested that I needed to be apart of social
media to help my business become successful, I was a bit concerned, as I had
not been apart of any social media prior to opening my site. Once I began blogging, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter I
was introduced to a world of animal lovers that want to make a difference in
the lives of animals.
Two of my favorite non-profit organizations are Dumb FriendsLeague and Buddy Center in Denver Co. I
moved to Colorado in 2006 from California.
I had not been exposed to non-profit no-kill shelters before. In the town I was born and raised they had
animal control – where animals were picked up and if not adopted in 7 to 10
days then they were put down. So, when I
moved to Colorado and was introduced to these no-kill shelters I was over the top with joy. They really won over my
heart when my cat of 16 years went missing. After putting posters in the
neighborhood I received a call telling me that Tonny
Since opening my online pet supply shop I have now been exposed to so
many wonderful non-profit animal organizations, individuals, and businesses
that devote their lives to rescuing, caring for and ensuring animals have a
safe haven until they can be reunited or be adopted into forever homes. Foster families make a huge impact on these
organizations, as they provide the love, socializing, care and time that is
needed for many of these animals.
My faith in people has been renewed, as there are so many
wonderful people doing wonderful things for our voiceless companions that are
truly dependent on people securing a safe and happy future. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to follow some of the amazing stories from the following pet rescue organizations:
I would love for all animal lovers to share their stories and
share the websites of organizations that devote their lives to protecting the
animals in need.
