Introduction

Unfortunately, there are many animal shelters that find themselves in a financial crisis. Whether it is a result of an unexpected emergency or simply not enough money coming in to cover expenses, these organizations need help. Luckily, there are several ways you can support your local shelter if they find themselves in this situation. Here’s a list of helpful suggestions:

Set Up a Fundraiser

• Contact the shelter and ask what they need most.
• Set up a page on a website such as GoFundMe or JustGiving that allows you to collect money online, then share it with your friends and family through Facebook, email, etc.
• If you don’t have much money to donate yourself but want to help out, consider donating another type of item instead (like cat food).

Ask Other Local Businesses to Donate

You can ask other local businesses to support your area’s animal shelter by donating time, services and/or money. One simple way is asking them to donate a percentage of their sales. For example, if they make $1,000 in sales during a day of fundraising (say it’s a sale at the mall), they could donate 10% or 25% of that total to help cover care costs for the animals. Another option is asking local businesses to provide a service such as cleaning up after an adoptable dog has been at an adoption event so that volunteers don’t have to do it themselves – this frees up their time so they can focus on other tasks instead!

Volunteer Your Time

You can also volunteer your time at the shelter. If you have a skill, such as marketing or social media management, offer to assist in that area as well. If you’re unsure what skills they may need, simply ask!

Volunteering at the front desk is a great way to help out because it allows you to be involved in each adoption and see firsthand how everything works with the animals. You can take notes on the dogs that seem like they should be adopted right away, or talk with someone if there are any questions about different breeds or health issues specific to certain breeds.

Volunteering for events is another way of giving back without having to visit the shelter every day—and it helps get more people interested in volunteering! People love going on field trips together; why not go do something fun while helping out an animal? You could even plan an event where everyone brings their own dog along (if they want) so everyone has a buddy while hanging out together!

Fundraising events are essential when it comes down to getting enough money for food supplies and other necessities needed by those working hard every day inside their facility–so make sure there’s one near you soon!

Consider Adopting a Pet

When you adopt a pet from an animal shelter, you’re getting more than just another pet. You’re also helping to save the life of another animal in need.

Consider how much difference there is between living out your final days in a cage or having a loving family to care for you and provide for all of your needs. It’s hard to imagine that anyone would choose the first option over the second, especially when they know what they’re missing out on.

If adopting a pet sounds like something that interests you, then please do some research on how this process works so that both parties are prepared for what comes next! While some shelters may have restrictions regarding who can adopt certain animals (for example: only those who live within a certain distance), most shelters do not have any requirements regarding age or family size (although there are still some things worth considering). Additionally, many organizations allow people interested in adopting their pets to meet them prior to adoption; while this isn’t mandatory, it can help ensure compatibility between owner and pet! There are also organizations such as PetFinder which allow users access information about available animals at local shelters nearby – all without ever having leaving home themselves!

With so many options available today – both online and offline – finding an organization near where we live shouldn’t pose much difficulty at all for anyone looking forward adopting one (or two) furry friends into our homes soon enough!!

There are a number of things you can do to help shelters in financial crisis.

There are a number of things you can do to help shelters in financial crisis. Here are some ideas:

• Organize a fundraiser. Hold an event with local businesses and let them know about it or create an online fundraiser through sites like GoFundMe, Crowdrise and Kickstarter. You can also ask your community for donations, such as toys or food for the pets at the shelter. Be sure to promote your event on social media so people know it’s happening!
• Ask local businesses to donate some money or supplies to support animals at the shelter. Many companies will be happy to support animal welfare organizations in this way—and may even offer incentives for employees who participate in such efforts!
• Show up at work early today so that we can finish everything on time (or maybe even ahead of schedule). It would be great if everyone could pitch in because this project is important and needs our full attention right now so that we don’t miss any deadlines while still getting all our tasks done properly.”
