All non-profit organizations, WAG included, are fundraising right now. Statistically, people give more during the holidays - donations tend to dry up after January 1. But animals will continue comi
ng into the shelter every month, regardless of our donation levels.
Local groups get NO funding from high-profile national organizations like the Humane Society of the US, ASPCA, or others. Even the $1 donated at the Petsmart checkout isn't guaranteed to go local - thousands of groups compete for Petsmart grants each year. Rescues pay for food, vet care and everything else animals need. Freebies are scarce in our world.
So when you're choosing gifts for your pet this holiday season, make a similar gift to your local homeless pets. Find a rescue organization that's making a difference and donate $10, $20 or $100. You'll never realize how much of a impact you can make!
And in case anyone needs to know, our website is www.wagwalton.com. There's a Paypal donate button on the left, our mailing address is PO Box 169, Monroe, GA 30655.
