Good News: You can Help
Just because you have not abandoned an animal personally does not mean that you are helping solve the problem of animal abandonment. We must all take action for this problem to be solved, speaking up for those who have no voice. This does not have to be complicated thing. Some great ways to help out are to educate, donate, and adopt.
Learning about animal abandonment is a big step to helping prevent it. Help others do the same by informing them about the causes, effects, and solutions to animal abandonment. Research the topic yourself. Share what you know. Knowledge is power, so give others the power to help the problem by educating how. If everyone helped out a little, many innocent animal lives would be saved. Any little thing you can do to help is great, and even just learning about the problem yourself can help solutions to be found. If you know someone planning on getting a pet, encourage them to adopt from shelters to save lives. Also, be responsible with your pets and make sure to have them sterilized. The world has enough animals without you having an accidental litter of puppies that are going to need homes.
Kill shelters have to euthanize animals because they do not have enough resources and space to care for them all. Donating to animal shelters not only makes the dogs there happier, but also saves their lives. A simple way to donate is to get your friends involved and collect money, blankets, towels, and anything else the shelter you are donating to is in need of. You can also donate your time by volunteering with Animal Control and local shelters or fostering dogs with nowhere else to go. There are many great rescues that offer foster dogs, so give a lonely dog some love until a permanent home can be found.
If you are planning to get a pet and have thought it through, then adopt. It is much better to save a life then to fund cruel industries like puppy mills. If you are not planning on getting another pet, then encourage the people around you to always adopt, and consider fostering an animal. Once you adopt a pet, you must make a life commitment to care for it. Animals are not shoes we can return. They are living things who deserve a home. We could save 4 million dogs’ lives if everyone adopted.
So don’t stand idly by as innocent animals are killed. Do something about it. Big or small, your educating, donating, and adopting are helping the issue. So never forget: DON'T BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER PETS DIE! It's just one way to save lives.
