Dog lovers, cat lover, for all of our furry friend lovers here at Arboretum Apartments,

dog in animal shelter

Thanks to your love Bennie has found a home ^_^

We know you can’t adopt every animal that needs a home.  You might have the compassion for it but there are lots of other things that you could do to help.  Your local animal shelter is always looking for support and here is how:

1)  Do you have any old blankets?  Donate them. You can gather up all of your old towels or bedding and take them to the animal shelter.  They can use them for baths and bedding for the animals while they wait for their forever homes.

2)  Donations via gifts.  Do you have an anniversary or birthday coming up? Rather than accepting gifts, you could ask that people write checks made out the local ASPCA or shelter in your area.  Their is a  tax-deductible on most donations plus, the karma points you receive are way better than any cheep neck tie, boxed DVD series or candle.

3)  While you socialize start a donation drive. When you go out to hang with your friends or when they com over to the apartments let them know about what you are doing  for the animals in neighborhood.  You don’t have to be a pest just ask if they’d like to contribute with your purpose.  Ensure them that you will do it with their participation or not.  This will give them confidence of your successful venture.

Ask around the office, your church or the here at the property for donations.  Every donation doesn’t have to be money.  Often times people have food that their pets can’t or won’t eat, toys they don’t play with, crates they’ve outgrown and collars that no longer fit.  All of these things can be donated to the local animal shelter.

Preston Animal Hospital is only minutes away and you can get started today.
