For The Love Of Dog - Help Save A Dog"s Life
For The Love Of Dog All over the world, people undoubtedly love their dogs.
But, in the recent economic downtown many have found it difficult to give their dog the proper care and attention that they deserve.
Financial restrictions have meant an increase in animals not receiving regular veterinary care, due to the costs of treatment, many owners fail to insure their dogs, to cover such bills, and some dogs, unfortunately, do not receive even a basic standard of care on a daily basis, from feeding to grooming and protection from pests such as fleas.
Often this is due to the owner simply not being able to afford to provide a proper standard of care, even though they clearly love their dogs.
Those that suddenly realise their predicament try to do the right thing by their pets by giving them up, which has in turn led to an increase in Dog Rescue Homes and Re-Homing Centres being overwhelmed by the numbers of dogs that need help.
The work that these centres and homes are doing is expensive, and now, highly pressurised due to the numbers of dogs that require help.
Often, the dogs that come in require medical help for conditions brought on by poor diet, parasites, or simply need neutering.
This costs the home dearly and they often need support, or help with fund-raising, as without them a great number of otherwise healthy dogs may end up being put to sleep unnecessarily.
How Can You Help Save A Dog? Re-Homing - These rescue centres also need good, responsible, financially stable homes for their dogs to be re-homed in, so that they can live fulfilled lives in a loving, comfortable environment, but before you rush out and adopt a new dog, think very carefully about what that commitment entails, emotionally and financially and the impact it will have on your day-to-day life.
Raise Awareness / Funds - Of course, adopting a dog may not be a possibility for many people, but you can help out your local re-homing and rescue centres by making donations, or helping with fund-raising, or simply by raising awareness of your local organisations.
With today's social media, Facebook, twitter and other such sites why not follow or add them to your lists, re-tweet their messages to your followers and friends, to help promote their work and possibly even aid to re-home a dog.
If you have a website or a blog you could always add links or articles about your local home.
Volunteer - Contact the home to see if they need any help.
Many survive with the work of volunteers who assist with the daily care of the dogs.
Dogs are our best friends, lets treat them as such.
Even if you do not own a dog or wish to own a dog you can still help to make a dog's life a happier one.
