* Give them a bath. Brush their teeth. 
* Freshen up their bed. Vacuum, wash and toss in a clean blanket.
* Give that collar a good cleaning.
* Wash and sanitize the cat box and fill with new, fresh litter.
* Wash that favorite toy, toss it in the washer.
* Take your dog to a pet friendly store.  You don’t need to buy anything, just window shop.

Have a Great Week!

April 28th is “Paw it Forward” Day, based on the human story of “Pay it Forward”.   For all animal lovers it is a great time to remember the people and animals in your area who could use a helping hand.

The principal behind this program is that you “pay forward” any help or favors that you receive. You do something nice for someone. If they ask how they can repay you, you tell them to “pay it forward” and do something nice for someone else. Better yet, why not be the initiator and start the “Paw it Forward” act of kindness.

Every shelter can use help of some kind – from money to food, bedding and toy donations. Volunteer, get your friends and/or organization to provide scheduled, recurring service. Many of the employees that work at shelters work tirelessly to rescue, comfort and place animals in forever homes. Any service, supplies and donations is appreciated by the staff.
