The VALUES of VOLUNTEERING with Animal Rescue

                              The VALUES of VOLUNTEERING with Animal Rescue

                                             SUMMERTIME and Animal Rescue

          Many of you are downsizing and looking to have yard sales this summer. Why not help out your local animal rescues at the same time? Ask your local animal rescues if they need any items to sell in their upcoming garage sale fundraisers. If so, then you might want to just donate yours to them, or perhaps what you have left over after your sale is completed? You can also offer them a portion of the proceeds of your sale as a donation. This way everyone wins! Remember, you can also offer to VOLUNTEER at their upcoming sale, as they can always use extra help.

          As you sort through your household items, consider blankets, towels, and bowls. Animal rescues as well as your local veterinarians can often use these items. So be sure to ask if any need these types of items so you can put them in your donation box for them. This is a wonderful form of recycling.

          Do any of your local Animal Rescues have pet food drives? Does your town or county have a Pet Food Bank? This might be the perfect opportunity for someone with a fundraising background to step in and organize? Many areas have Pet Food distributors that will work with donating goods to Animal Rescue.  

          Some rescues might use a specific brand, so that particular manufacturer might be contacted and ask about donating. Your area might be in dire need of a Pet Food Bank. There are many informational resource links online to help you with this. All you need is a little GOOGLING.

          REALTORS or anyone associated in any way with the housing market might wish to Volunteer and help out with an organization called FORECLOSED UPON PETS   http://forecloseduponpets.org

          Your company might like to offer them support in someway or another. Just imagine all the folks working in the real estate industry and the strength those kinds of numbers can bring to Animal Rescues.

          Perhaps the offices and the Brokers can offer their parking lots as a place to hold local adoptions and fundraisers? Sort of an Animal Rescue OPEN HOUSE.

          REALTORS sell homes to people who buy homes and a FOREVER HOME is what these rescued animals need to dearly. It only seems fitting that the real estate industry be a big supporter for Animal Rescue everywhere. I invite anyone in the real estate industry to step up and start the ball rolling with local Real Estate Boards and Fortune 500 Real Estate Agencies who have the vast numbers and contacts to make a big difference in Animal Rescue. Imagine the Brand recognition that can be associated with it. Maybe even to pay the adoption fee for any home buyer client who wishes to add a new family member to their new home.

          I ask each and everyone of you for your patience with me. You see ideas constantly flow through my head and each one leads me to another. So please take my brainstorming ideas that appeal most suited to you and run with them. You are much better qualified than me to execute and make them successful.

          This is how you can VOLUNTEER. My apologies if much of this seems repetitious, or more like a pep talk, pep rally or cheerleader session. You have to realize  that each and every hour someone new to Animal Rescue and VOLUNTEERING reads this, and it is them we are targeting. You might know most of this and even more than I am mentioning here, which is great, however we always have to be on the lookout and ready for the new folks. This way they can be well informed and educated on the dynamics of Animal Rescue and VOLUNTEERING. So please be patient with me and help me welcome them here by posting your own valuable Animal Rescue and VOLUNTEERING information. As you know, experience is always the best teacher.

Thank you.
