Pet Love This Week

Although I have been told otherwise, I believe that little things count. Here are some fun, easy ways to make a difference this week.

1. Buy a book of Adopt A Shelter Pet stamps. They are the same price as regular stamps- but you will feel a whole lot better after you buy these.

2. Help Shelby Angel get adopted. This beautiful girl is still not adopted, and she needs a family. Can you adopt her? Could you forward her blog or Petfinder link to friends? She really needs your help. There are no organizations in Memphis to help her or take her in.

3. Start saving your aluminum cans!!!! Memphians, every 3 months I will take a truck full of cans to the recycle center and donate all of the money to animal rescue organizations. All you have to do is put your cans in a bag and call me when you have a full bag. You can drop them off at my house or let me know where to pick them up. Send me a message if you have interest in this ongoing project. (last time I was able to collect $84 for donations. It was fun and easy!)

4. Watch this video of a dog and elephant that are BFF. And then cry like I did.

5. Vote for the Tunica Animal Shelter to receive grant money to become a "no-kill" shelter. In the south, we have a very high shelter population and euthanasia rate. Wouldn't it be great to turn it around, one shelter at at time?

6. Want to know what is in your area? Check out this website from greenpeople.

7. Oh yea, and one more. Here is some info on a local Memphis service. A friend of mine that does my hair has a pit that she has not spayed yet...I am definitely forwarding this to her! Share it with anyone you think may need it as well. In July, Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services Memphis is honoring the pit bull & pit bull mixes to spay or neuter at no charge- that is until the funding runs out! Call today 901.324.3202 & make an appointment to have yours fixed or help a friend or neighbor get theirs fixed.
