There are so many ways in which you can help. Shelters are always in need of the following:
- Monetary Donations
- Food
- Blankets
- Beds
- Shelters
- Toys
- Bowls
- Adoptions (every animal adopted makes space for another to be helped)
If you are unable to assist with any of the above, you can still make a huge difference by assisting in getting this blog to go viral. The more people reading this, the better the exposure for the shelters, more adoptions, better fund raising and, ultimately, a better chances of the shelters to remain open.
Adoptions from and donations to these shelters has been hard hit by the recession and we are desperate to raise awareness for their plight.
Another simple way to help, would be to organise a food and donation box at your office. Collections can then be arranged, within the Gauteng area, with no further work required from your side. Certificates can provided to both the company and individuals for the valued help and support. Presentations can be arranged for the staff, allowing everyone to know what Long Life Cats & Dogs are doing and where their donations are going.
Flea Market sales items are always welcome. We regularly attend Flea Markets, in an attempt to raise awareness and funds from the sale of these items. Almost anything can be sold, although many of the Flea Markets do not allow second hand clothing.
