One in a million

/

If you have a pet, odds are good that you've told the story of how you met and fell furever in love like a million times. You might even make shit up every now and then to spice up the story. Hey, I'm not judging. Ok, I am. But I'm also in awe of your creativity, so keep that shit up.

 

If you don't have a pet (or maybe you're looking to add to your family), then listen up. Over a million pets are euthanized in shelters every year. And I know, you can't solve this problem on your own. It's not like you're Jeff Bezos who could definitely solve both this problem and poverty, homelessness, and the reason why my delivery instructions are NEVER followed. I said what I said, Jeff.

 

But I digress…

 

If you're in a position to commit to the care and feeding of a pet (or another pet), that's fantastic. I bet there are several local shelters that can help you match with a cat or dog, or cat (let's face it, it should be a cat). Google it. Bing it. Duck Duck Go it. Whatever your search engine of choice is, I bet it'll find your local pet shelters pretty easily. Put it on your list, right now, and then you get to both have the satisfaction of making a difference in the world AND crossing this off your list.

 

If you're not in the position to commit to the care and feeding of a pet (or another pet), here's a list of other easy ways to support shelter pets. You still make a difference AND could cross of MULTIPLE items on your list. What's not to love?

 

Top Five Suggestions to Add to Your To-Do List for This Week:

  1. Spay and neuter your existing pets. If you have them and if they're not already spayed or neutered. If they are. You may both pass go and cross this off your list. Good job, you.

  2. Check your local shelter's online shopping wish list. (Which shall remain unbranded intentionally, but let's face it, we all know it's Amazon. Fuck you, Jeff.)

  3. Find out if your local people food pantry will also accept pet food donations. Many people who are food insecure have pets who are in the same boat. Supporting folks who are having a hard time, helps them stay with their babies which is a win for everyone.

  4. Serve as a foster parent. So many different kinds of pets need additional support. From babies who need to be socialized to older pets who need a break from the stress of a shelter.

  5. Share your pet adoption story or how you're helping shelter pets on September 23rd with the #RememberMeThursday #SeeTheLight, and amplify the message that many, many, MANY pets are waiting for their furever homes.
