Get Involved: Shar-Pei Rescue

The extreme overpopulation of homeless animals is a responsibility that everyone in your community should take part in.  Getting yourself involved in your own community is a good start.  Whether you have 20 hours per week or 20 minutes per month, every little bit helps!  Below are a few ways you can involve yourself with your community.Make a donation. Food, toys, supplies, and other donations are a great way to get yourself involved.  Monetary contributions can be made to specific programs or shelters.

Volunteer. Contact your local animal shelter for more information on volunteer opportunities.  Grooming, bathing, walking, and playing with animals are a few

Tell Others. Spread the word about services and programs provided by your local animal shelter or rescue.  Remember, National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week is celebrated the first full week of November.

Support animals. Support pro-animal legislation and vote in your local community.  Contact officials about animal issues and encourage them to support pro-animal legislation.

Save an animal. Be sure to report any stray or injured animals as well as any abuse or neglect.  You could very well save an animals life!

Instruct Children. Proper care of animals is important.  Instruct kids on how to properly care for, train, treat, and play with animals.

Be a responsible pet owner. Spay or neuter your pet to prevent an increase in overpopulation.  Make sure identification and licenses are kept current at all times and that your pet is always properly cared for and supervised.  Be sure to provide food, water, veterinary care, and shelter when needed.  Finally, you’re your pet logs of attention!
