Our Humane Society only deals with cats.. no dogs or other animals.
Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming....
Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming....
Social media is THE way to get things done these days, so those resources are good ones. You may also want to check out BestFriends.org and list your community's HS there with a request for volunteers, fosters, and so on. Yahoo Groups might be another place to look (or if you're not on Yahoo, whomever your email client is, may have something like this, that connects people locally by common interests). You may also check and see if area veterinarians, including your good ones, would allow your HS to post flyers asking for volunteers, fosters, etc. and giving the contact/website. Hope some of these ideas are helpful. Kitten season is tough everywhere.Hey all, I do not know if this is appropriate for here, so moderators, please do what is best for this thread/post.
Our humane society is in need of help.
I was wondering if any of you guys would have ideas.
We do not have a brick & motor site. We show the cats at Petsmart. The problem is, we need more volunteers, more fosters, much more promotion...
In short, we need help.
Even though we are located in a semi-affluent area, we do not get much support from the community and the volunteers seem as apathetic.
Any ideas? Thoughts? On how we can reach out more to the community. Fundraisers really do not get much response.. even a volunteer meeting, gets none of the volunteers there.. it is appalling..
We desperately need ideas. We do have a Facebook page, and have cats listed on PetFinder.
We kind of need a PR person, or ideas for getting more volunteers, and foster homes.
We really need to have/find someone to take the 'bull by the horns" and reorganize it. But that seems to be an impossible task.
How do other Shelters/Rescues deal with things??
I am afraid we are in dire need of help.
Any thoughts?
I would appreciate any help at all...
Thanks for reading this..
My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved Dandii. I hope you will find comfort in time knowing she watches over you and that you will be reunited in due time. I have also been in the situation you describe, many more times than I care to think about; my own personal beliefs are of comfort in those times, as I hope yours will be for you. It is not in our ability to be able to control everything and we do not have the gift of being able to save lives in every instance, but it is the quality, not the quantity, of life that matters most, and Dandii must certainly have known love in your care. Let that be of comfort to you as well.Thank you for your suggestions it has been comforting to me in a positive action towards the crossing the bridge of my Dandii . And hoping to do somthing positive in her name . I don't ever want anyone to feel as helpless as I did not having the money for my Dandii to get medical attention she needed I want every person to able to take their loved pets to the veternarian
Thank you again
