We've all seen commercials and advertisements begging us to save the animals, whether they're extinct or just abused. Some people might even say we have a responsibility to take care of the animals of the world instead of following our Apex Predator complex. But I think we can actually do more for animals than we think we can. It's not as hard as you might think. Did I just agree with a commercial only wanting a dollar a day? Sure!
So there is your list of "adopt pets" and "help animals find their forever home" and "save the polar bears." But we don't always have to go to the extreme of adopting a pet. You could also foster pets. This means you take on the job of caring for a pet so it doesn't have to be in a shelter. You raise that pet until they find their forever home.
Let's see what ways you can get involved in helping animals:
- Shelter Drives (collect pet products and food that the shelter has on their "need" list)
- Cut up plastics and Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to stop plastic from hurting wildlife
- Put up bird houses and put out bird feeds (keep this up, because birds can become dependent)
- International Animal Rescue
- ASPCA
- The Humane Society of the United States
- One Green Planet.com - 6 Ways to Get Involved
- Wildlife-Rescue.org
I love how the possibilities are endless. What other ideas do you have? Can we help each other help the animals? Share what you do or what you know about saving animals!
