Locally! Get involved today.
1. Make a Donation
The Woodford Humane Society receives NO government funding of
any kind. In order to care for the over 1,200 animals we
receive each year, we rely on private donations. Click
here to make a donation now.
2. Be an Email
Ambassador
Spread a shelter-friendly message every time you hit send—attach
a tagline like the one below to your signature for all
outgoing email messages: Love animals? Support your
local humane society!
3. Adopt or Foster an
Animal
Consider adopting
or fostering a homeless animal. Whether you decide to bring
home a new pet or foster an animal until he or she finds a
forever family, you'll be giving a critter a safe and caring
home while making room for another homeless pet in your
community's shelter, where space is limited.
4. Volunteer Your Time
and Skills
Whether you end up walking pooches or helping at special
events, we can match your schedule and talents to our needs.
Not only will you be helping animals in your community, but
you also will be building knowledge and skills.
5. Add a Banner to Your
Web Page
Warn visitors to your web page about the dangers of puppy
mills and pet stores. Add a "Stop
Puppy Mills" or "Puppy
Buyers Guide" banner to your MySpace page, blog or
website, and encourage people to adopt a dog from an animal
shelter instead of purchasing a pooch with a puppy mill past. more»
6. Support Spay-Neuter
Spaying
or neutering your pet or offering to help fund a
spay/neuter surgery for a friend, family member or neighbor's
pet will save animals' lives by helping to lower the
number of unwanted
animals in our community.
7. Donate a Dog Bed
No shelter dog should have to sleep on a cold, concrete floor
while waiting for a forever home, but
providing bedding for the hundreds of homeless animals we
care for each year can add up to thousands of
dollars each year—not to mention loads of
laundry. Help a dog in need by donating a durable,
shelter-tested bed through the Kuranda shelter donation
program. The beds can increase the overall physical and
mental well-being of a shelter's doggie residents. more»
8. ID Your Pet
Your pet should never go naked—that is, without a collar and
ID tags. It's the number one way that lost pets are returned
to their owners. Without it a Good Samaritan or animal
shelter will likely have no idea how to contact
you. Even if your pet is microchipped or your cat never goes
outdoors, always err on the safe side and make a collar and
tag permanent—your pet's life could depend on it.
