The week of Nov. 2 is National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, sponsored by The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in recognition of the indispensable role animal shelters play in maintaining the safety and health of a community.
Whether it’s controlling a dog that is roaming at large, rescuing an injured cat or bringing a lost animal home, the professionals at local animal shelters work hard to help both the two- and four-legged members of our communities.
Not all animal shelters can provide quality services due to lack of funding, resources or community support. If your local animal shelter needs a helping hand in caring for your community’s unwanted and stray animals, get involved. An animal shelter is only as good as the community makes it.
