Every Thursday we offer ways to give back locally. For this week’s Give Back Thursday, we suggest you Honor Your Pet! Read on for more details.
Do you love your pet(s)? For most, that is a silly question. Of course we do! Pets are special members of our family. They love unconditionally and nobody will ever be as happy to see you as your pet. From tail wagging and jumps for joy in dogs to rubbing against you for cats, they love us right back. Pets are happiest when spending time with their humans. Their mere presence can calm anxiety and petting them can relieve stress. We are so lucky to have our pets and they are lucky to have a home filled with love. But, what about those who don’t have a home or love?
For this week’s Give Back Thursday, we suggest you Honor Your Pet! For all the love and joy they bring to our lives, our pets should be honored. Make a donation in honor of your pet(s) to a charitable organization or endeavor that helps animals in need. Locally, Grove City Area Pet Rescue is one such organization. Perhaps you have a favorite charity helping animals. Still need ideas? You could talk to your local veterinarian to see if they have ideas or know of needs in the local area. There may be someone struggling to pay vet bills who could use a little assistance as they care for their pet. From food to treats and everything in between, there is need out there.
Your donation does not have to be large, it just needs to be from the heart.
Imagine your beloved pet with all of their quirks and personality (that we love) in the hands of someone less patient and understanding. Would their life be as happy? What if they were mistreated or neglected? Or, perhaps they could have been born on the street and never known love. All of these scenarios can be too hard to think about if you love your pet. One look into their loving eyes and we know we could not fathom them being mistreated or unloved. There are animals out there in those situations. While we might not see it or know about it personally, those situations exist. Take this opportunity to help. Use our Give Back Thursday suggestion to Honor Your Pet and make a donation in their honor. You might help save a life!
