Send Vital Supplies to Shelters Saving Dogs’ Lives

 These critical supplies help give pets a second chance. 

Shelters across the country are struggling to provide for dogs that need care. Severe natural disasters, high levels of surrenders, and pet over-population have left shelters overflowing, putting pets' lives at risk.

For these shelters, who are saving thousands of dogs lives each year, providing the basic essentials for rescue dogs can be an overwhelming expense. Once the pets have been fed and the bills have been paid, there's often nothing left over for the "extras" some might consider an extravagance.

But these are NOT "extras". They are vital for the shelters' mission to save lives and they're vital for dogs' well-being. 

By gifting any of these items, you will help make a scary time in the shelter a little more comfortable. When a rescue dog is healthy and happy their personality shines and they are more likely to be adopted into their new home.

Send much needed supplies to shelter dogs...

• Blankets are one of the most requested non-food items by shelters. Many pets love to "nest" in blankets which helps them feel safe and calm. Blankets can also be taken home when they are adopted, helping ease the transition to a new home.
• Stainless Steel Bowls are essential to give rescue dogs a clean place to eat and can be reused by shelters.
• Collars & Leashes are more critical supplies that shelters need constantly. Help pets get walks and healthy exercise after being in shelter kennel.
• Treats add a little something special to their day. Treats also aid in training, making each pet more attentive and adoptable.
  
• Toys provide mental stimulation, improving the shelter pets' moods, behavior, and confidence while reducing stress and anxiety. Like blankets, toys can also help smooth the transition to their furr-ever home.
• Supply Bundles will send multiples of the above supplies to some lucky shelter dogs! Medium bundles send 2 gifts, large bundles send 3 gifts and the x-large bundle sends 5 gifts.
  

Stories:

Rosetta was found emaciated and covered in sores as a stray on the streets of Texas. She was saved by Adopt a Boxer Rescue who was able to give her the food and care she needed, thanks to your donations of essential supplies. The warm blanket and tasty treats brought so much comfort to the homeless dog. She is living her best live now in a loving home.

The Animal Rescue Site and Greater Good Charities provided Naperville Area Humane Society with necessities for a variety of animals, which were then given to pet parents in need. That included a bunny owner who needed help feeding their furry friend. The shelter estimated the donations would help more than 100 beneficiaries.

NAHS said, “GGC included species specific supplies that met the need, which was incredibly helpful. We would not have normally kept items that were not dog or cat related at the shelter. Additionally, we were able to help our local wildlife centers with some of the other supplies provided."

 

BoJangles was having some manner issues and was jumping in excitement on potential adopters. With the treats and toys sent, staff were able to train this large lovable mastiff to give him a better chance at being adopted.
