If you would like to help the animals, you can check out this page on abc World News. It lists a variety of ways you can help out the animals and also people who have been affected by the spill. Whether you are able to make a donation or volunteer on site, every little bit helps.

Help Out Unwanted & Homeless Pets

http://www.humanesocietyofdickson.org/images/pets.jpg

There are so many homeless pets out there, and although you cannot help all of them, you can save at least one. Even if you do not have a lot of time on your hands, you can still help out in some way.

A few ways you can do your part include:

  • Donating pet items and volunteering at your local animal shelter: Animal shelters are always in need of various items, including pet food, treats, blankets, towels, cat litter pans, cat litter, and grooming items such as combs, brushes, and shampoo. Volunteers are also very much in need, and you will feel good doing it.
  • Becoming a pet foster parent: Many animal rescue organizations need people to foster abandoned, ill, baby animals, and those recovering from surgery or some other procedure. You can contact your local humane society, SPCA, or animal rescue organization, where you will receive an application and training.
