November 1st marked the beginning of the Holiday Barn Pet Resorts annual Fall Pet Food Drive. The food drive will assist The Henrico Humane Society, Richmond Animal League, and the Richmond SPCA with needed food during the holidays and beyond. The upcoming holiday season finds many of us donating time and money to charitable causes. It’s a wonderful time of the year when generosity abounds and the needs of others are first and foremost in our thoughts.
For pet lovers, volunteering at an animal shelter or donating funds to a rescue group is a great way to help animals in need. Each shelter or rescue organization has different needs according to their focus breed (if they have one), location, and the number of pets in their care.
If you would like to do something special this year for homeless animals, here is a list of ideas to get you started.
It is a good idea to contact the shelter or rescue organization first for their individual “wish list”, as well as to see if your donations are tax deductable.
If you are thinking of helping a pet with no home this holiday season, Do your homework. Make sure you select a reputable organization. Are they a registered 501(3)c charity? Do they regularly attend adoption events in the area and have an active group of volunteers? Are they willing to answer your questions and respond in a timely manner? Do they have a clean, healthy facility? If you’re still concerned, your Vet may be able to help point you in the right direction.
There are many wonderful Richmond area shelters and rescue groups. Here is a list of No-Kill animal shelters through-out Virginia. Thank you for your contributions and your love. Happy Holidays!
