Give Back to Neglected and Abandoned Animals
Do you love animals? Do you worry about homeless dogs and cats?
This post will teach you how to plug in and help abandoned and neglected pets. This guest post by Kristin Louis will help you. Dog Leader Mysteries shares essential advice for supporting homeless and abandoned animal causes.
Awareness
A great place to start in your attempt to help pets is to raise awareness.
- Educate: If you have kids, educate them on humane ways to care for animals, as this will prevent animal abuse as they grow up.
- Promote efforts: If you’re helping animals or supporting specific causes, promote your work. Note: This link takes you to Wristband Creation’s (.com) post “10-things-can-raise-awareness-cause.” Your enthusiasm for saving lost pets may inspire more people to give, volunteer, and educate others to help abandoned pets.
- Responsible ownership: Educating yourself on the best ways to be a responsible pet parent will also be a great place to start.
Advocating
A lot of the poor treatment of animals comes from poor laws and policies. You can help improve the treatment of animals on a more significant level by:
- Petitioning: Find and sign petitions on sites like Our Commons and Change.org that help advocate for many abandoned pets and animal causes.
- Fundraising: GoFundMe and Fundly are great resources for raising funds for various animal causes or specific needy animals.
- Write to policymakers: Writing to your local policymakers can significantly affect change on an institutional level by impacting legal rules and legislation.
