Spoil shelter pets on National Pet Day by purchasing a toy, treats, or one of each! 

Two of our favorite felines on their way to shelter where they will stay till they find their forever home.

 For shelters that save the lives of thousands of pets each year, providing for basic essentials a rescue pet needs can be an overwhelming expense -- often leaving little funding left over for other needed or "extra" supplies.

Shelters strive to make each pet's stay as comfortable as possible until they find their forever home. However, shelters need help with some of the basic necessities and little luxuries for these shelter animals while they await adoption into their forever home.

Pups like Flame and Frizz will benefit from from supplies sent to shelters as they wait to be adopted.

By purchasing one or all of these items from The Animal Rescue Site, a cat or dog or other animal will be provided with a comfortable and joyful place at the shelter.  When a rescue pet is healthy and happy their personality shines and they are more likely to be adopted into their new home.

Supplies to send to shelter animals...

• Blankets to keep the pets warm. Many pets also like to "nest" in blankets which helps them feel safe and helps to calm them.
• Stainless Steel Bowl to give the rescue pet a clean place to eat.
• Treats add a little something special to their day. Treats also aid in training, making each dog more attentive and adoptable.
  
• Toys to brighten a rescue pets day. These poor dogs and cats awaiting adoption have had a hard life. Providing toys encourages play and brightens their day.
• Collars & Leashes so each rescue pet can go for walks and get some healthy exercise after being in shelter kennel.

Stories:

July 2023: Maria Vanegas, the Rehabilitation & Nursery Supervisor, of the South Florida Wildlife Center was so excited to receive blankets! "Our Center welcomed our first baby squirrel of the second peak in our nursery. Mammals, especially babies, should always be kept warm and comfortable. These blankets help us provide the necessary soft and warm substrate for our patients. When orphaned babies come into our center, they are very scared at first, as they are experiencing a completely different environment than they would in the wild with their parent. During the seasons, we typically have over 100 babies at any given time with us. With these blankets, we can now continue to provide all our orphaned/injured babies with a warm and comfortable environment."

February 2023: BoJangles was having some manner issues and was jumping in excitement on potential adopters. With the treats and toys sent, staff was able to train this large lovable mastiff to give him a better chance at being adopted.
