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.
