As our world changes and grows, and new ideas blossom into shape, so should our outlook
on the plight of our animals.
New rescues and resources come into fruition every single day, and there are numerous ideas,
and events that focus solely on helping animals in need.
So, with Spring here at last, let's make it one of our goals of renewal, to change our focus and readjust of beliefs, for the sake of our pets and all animals, who share our beautiful earth with us.
Here are a few simple ideas that will hopefully inspire you and your kids to make a change for animals! Just starting locally in your neighborhood, school, church or where you work, can have a HUGE impact.
Invite a Vet to Career Day at Your School. Next time your school hosts a Career Day, invite your favorite vet to come and talk about becoming a doctor for animals.
Start a Neighborhood Watch Program. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has some great ideas for preventing animal abuse with a Neighborhood Watch Program. Learn about it here: http://www.nnw.org/
Teach Your Community About Preventing Animal Cruelty. You and your neighbors can make a difference by learning how to prevent animal cruelty. Anne Marie Lucus from Animal Precinct shared some easy ways to prevent animal cruelty with the America Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Read the list and share with family and friends: https://www.aspca.org/
Become a Mentor. If you are a veterinarian you can become a mentor and share your animal awareness with new vets. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has a mentoring program. Learn about that here: http://www.mentoring.org/get-involved/become-a-mentor/
Have Your Children and Students Read Humane Children's Books. You can read books like Black Beauty together and talk about the importance of kindness to animals. A great example: https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/animal-rescue
Help People Find a Place to Volunteer. There are tons of ways to volunteer. Print out the volunteer locations in your area and share them with friends, family, co-workers and fellow students! Post the volunteer locations in your inter-office mail, school paper or local paper. Make sure everyone who volunteers to help animals makes a promise here! http://www.aspca.org/take-action
Making a difference, no matter how small it may seem to you, has a big impact on animals in need.
Teaching our children to respect and love animals is starting a circle of compassion that will grow as our children do.
If you want to share an idea that you may have, please leave your idea in the comment section below. All ideas are welcome and encouraged!
