How You Can Help Shelter Dogs
Okay, so most of us haven't won a few million dollars recently. But if you ask people what they would do if they did have a giant financial windfall a lot of them say they would help homeless animals. Even if you haven't struck it rich and you'd still like to help shelter dogs, any donation helps. Skip your fancy coffee shop drink for a few weeks and donate that to your local Humane Society.
You can also donate bags of food, blankets, old towels, and cleaning products. You can volunteer to foster a dog, or walk a dog, or clean out kennels or to simply spend time with shelter pups.
In the meantime, keep playing those numbers and crossing your fingers! Someone has got to win, and we hope that someone is a person who would love to help homeless animals and the wonderful shelters that care for them!
