Helping your local animal shelter

This is the hardest time of year for all the animal shelters. The one I speak of often is full to over-flowing and donations are slow. Foster homes are few and adoptions in the summer are always down due to people being busier with travelling and cottaging.

Please locate your closest animal shelter and make a donation of money or food. If ours is suffering, they all are. We have one of the most caring group of people running The Lanark Animal Shelter and the shelter itself is one of the finest I have seen. We need our shelters and it is up to us to keep the doors open. They rely on donations of money and food from the areas they cover. They especially need canned cat food for the kittens.

Annie and Audrey came from this shelter.

Annie arrived with three 2 day old kittens and I brought them home to foster last September. Two of her kittens were adopted and I adopted Annie and Audrey. Without this shelter, Annie would have been left in an abandoned house to die with her kittens.

Please take a moment out of your day and think about how you can make a difference at your local animal shelter. They need us.
