Pawing it forward

Kirby here-

Have you heard of "pawing it forward", actually I think my mom says it's "Paying it forward", but hey, I'm a dog! Anyways there is a really cool news station here that featured a dog abuse story, the link is below. This news station is doing a pay it forward theme all month! I just want to encourage all the pawrents out there to think of a way to "paw it forward." Can you help at a local shelter or maybe can you provide for a treatment that a dog or cat at a shelter might need or maybe you can foster a dog or cat. My mom paws it forward by volunteering for Harbor Humane Society. Is there something you can do? Can you somehow share the love that you have for your furriend and give some to another...If you already do this share your story! If not, please consider doing something!

Also, we recently found out about how much supplies Harbor Humane Society goes through every month:

• 4,000 pounds of cat litter

• Approximately 1,000 pounds of dog and puppy food

• Approximately 900-1,000 pounds of cat and kitten food

• Approximately 200-300 rolls of paper towel

• Approximately 200-300 cans of cat/kitten food

• 60 gallons of bleach

Harbor Humane Society is the ONLY animal shelter in our county, therefore, every single animal that is found as a stray or is an owner surrender in our county is taken here! I believe they average 700 animals a month! They only have room for about 50-60 dogs and they are a kill shelter. Please check out a shelter near you furever home and find out how you can help! Whether it's donating, volunteering, fostering or adopting EVERYONE can do something!

Woof!
