Holiday Cards That Give Back For Rescue Animals (Holiday 2024)
Anywhere
Animal shelters are overcrowded once again across the U.S. If you're someone that mails out holiday cards, consider using greeting cards that give back to organizations helping pets in need. Let me share two impactful options with you:
🐾 Their cards make my heart full! 'Hooray for the Underdog' was created by artists donating their time and talents to shine a light on abandoned animals looking for loving forever homes. https://hoorayfortheunderdog.com/
🐾 Proceeds from the sale of these cards benefit spay/neuter and adoption programs across the U.S. You can even customize the greetings in the cards. https://goodcausegreetings.com/products.aspx?CategoryID=11
Thank you for making a difference for animals in need this holiday season!

November is National Senior Pet Awareness Month 🐾 ❤️
Here are 4 reasons to adopt a senior pet:
1️⃣ What you see is what you get. Senior pets have established temperaments & training, making them easier to understand.
2️⃣ Exercise isn't as critical. Pets of all ages require some exercise to stay healthy, but senior pets don't need as much activity.
3️⃣ The puppy/kitten phase is over. Senior pets can be more safely left unattended.
4️⃣ They are grateful. Adopted senior pets know they've found a home & often repay that love with loyalty.
The cost of veterinary care and pet basics has been skyrocketing. Here on ThatHelps, we've seen a growing number of community members inquire about ways to access (free) pet food and pet care in their communities. We're hopeful this can help.
Regardless if you are homeless, a veteran, or a person struggling with their bills we're hoping that the following can assist those of you looking for pet food, pet care, and other basics.
Every pet deserves not to be hungry or suffer from an illness or injury. "Feeding Pets of the Homeless" is working to keep pets and their humans together. The organization has already helped over 30K pets, and provided more than $5M in vet care, pet food, and other basics. There is also a secondary option via PetHelp Finder to search on resources in your neighborhood.

Singer Miranda Lambert attended Voiceless, a broadcast special, fashion show and celebrity charity event presented by Boot Barn. Partial proceeds from the event will benefit MuttNation, an organization helping animal rescues. In addition, Miranda developed a special award named after her first horse, Idyllwind. The award serves Lucky Great Rescue which focuses on giving slaughter-house horses a second chance at life.

BPF's Operation Fix the Future free spay/neuter clinic in Grand Rapids, Michigan was a huge success. From October 28-30, 300 dogs and 343 cats from throughout Michigan were spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm tested at no cost to their owners or communities that participated!
Special thanks to Covetrus North America for donating medical supplies to support our efforts!
Operation Fix the Future not only prevented an enormous number of unwanted births but also reduced the number of pets who might otherwise end up homeless, in shelters, or euthanized due to overpopulation issues, especially in areas where shelters are already overwhelmed, and resources are limited.
