Teach Your Kids to
Love Pets #7 – Kids Who Love Pets Love Volunteering to Help Pets
Contributing is one of the values that you can teach
children through their love for pets. Americans are the most generous people in
the world when it comes to contributing money and volunteering to help people
that have lost their homes or endured hardships due to natural disasters like
tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or tsunamis.
It’s difficult for kids
to understand that they can help people in disasters like
those, that are so often so far away from where we live. However, there are
lots of ways that they can contribute in their own neighborhoods when it comes
to volunteering for pet organizations, they always need help! Whether it’s
the local pet shelter or the Humane Society or the Society for Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, they need food for the pets they shelter, money for supplies
like towels, beds and blankets. Kids can ask friends and neighbors for old
towels and blankets or collect money for the shelters. Kids can collect dog
food to donate to the shelters. Kids can form clubs of other kids who are pet
lovers and can create a neighborhood “watch” for lost pets. Kids participate in
pet organizations that have “Walks” to raise money by getting sponsors to
donate for each mile they walk their dogs. There are lots of ways that kids can
volunteer for animal causes.
