The Best Ways to Help Your Local Animal Shelter

If you have a soft heart for all the furry friends, you may be interested in learning ways to help homeless dogs and the shelters. Whether they are private or public organizations, all shelters depend on assistance from the community to provide animals with all the attention and supplies they need. Adopting a dog or donating money are obvious ways to help, but if neither of those options works for you, there is still plenty you can do to make life better for our four-legged neighbors!

1. Volunteer Your Time

From cleaning out kennels to running social media campaigns, shelters need volunteers with a wide variety of skills. You don’t have to be an expert dog trainer or bring dogs home to make a big impact. Volunteer your services as a graphic designer, an office assistant, or take shelter dogs for much-needed walks. Whatever skill you have to offer will be appreciated.

2. Organize Donations

Get friends involved to donate supplies or raise money for a shelter. Host a party that requires a used blanket or bag of dog food as “cover charge,” or get your crafty friends together to sew doggie sleeping pads. Check with the shelter for a specific list of needs, but all animal shelters need basic cleaning supplies like a pet odor eliminator and cleaning rags. Here are a few more options:

Waste bags
Toys
Pet cleaning products
Office supplies
Dog food and treats
Blankets and towels

If donating cleaning products, be sure to choose high-quality concentrated items that are pet-safe. Fizzion offers the best pet odor neutralizer that is guaranteed safe to use around all animals. As a brand, Fizzion’s devotion to pets goes beyond removing stains. We believe in supporting organizations like Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats.

Fizzion supports Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats

Kitty Bungalow is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of feral cats and kittens in Los Angeles area. We help by providing our products to keep shelters clean, support volunteer training and fund Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) to help get feral cats off the city streets.

“We feel super lucky that our favorite cleaning product is a sponsor of the organization.  We absolutely recommend it anytime an owned cat has a litter box misstep – because it really erases any trace of the accident, so the cat doesn’t have repeat encouragement.  We know this stuff really works because we use it in our bus after transporting 20 cats to another state!  Imagine that smell if you would!  Well, we don’t have to because Fizzion eliminates the odor without trying to cover it up.  It’s magic!  Fizzion has done more than donate product, their financial assistance allows us to provide free spay and neuters to community cats to end the feline over-population problem.  Thanks, Fizzion!

Whatever you can do to help, do it! A small act can make a big difference to a dog who’s waiting for a home.
