I collected these things and moved them around -- food for the pet-food bank, crates, collars, leads, toys, beds, etc for rescue organizations.<br /><br />Before I started doing that, they just threw that stuff away or gave it to other clients. They didn't have the space to store it and didn't want to take the time to deliver it to where it'd be useful.<br /><br />Anyway, if you want to help out a pet-food bank and feel like driving around, you might call a bunch of vet clinics and ask them if you can come by often and pick up the 'donations' of that sort. I got a tonne of stuff from just the one clinic, and they were grateful to me for taking it away.Graftonhttp://asdrelationships.freeforums.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-2635880593042225632009-12-23T10:45:57.977-06:002009-12-23T10:45:57.977-06:001800 lbs in one city in one week.
I rescue cats ...1800 lbs in one city in one week. <br /><br />I rescue cats and kittens. Since I live in a downtrodden part of town, cats are rarely spayed or neutered. They are abandoned easily as well. We find homes for the kittens, but the adults never seem to get one. ;( <br /><br />We do catch and release. The local non-profit feline organization pays for fixing the cats. <br /><br />We also spend more $ feeding the cats than we do to feed ourselves. I ain't bitching, just stating a fact. ;)I have a wonderful blogger bud that donates dry and canned food to us three times a year. <br /><br />That young boy made my day, thanks Shark Fu. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698117410778232102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-69458733839448251362009-12-23T10:28:46.992-06:002009-12-23T10:28:46.992-06:00Miss ABB: I also think a big problem is that many ...Miss ABB: I also think a big problem is that many landlords don't allow pets.

However, the elderly are among the most at risk in times of economic downturn and I can imagine many cannot feed their pets, as well as children with unemployed parents, etc. We share the world with other living beings and we need to start feeling responsible for all, human and non-human, as a community.Miss Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441545812710273964noreply@blogger.com
