When you are out there trying to find the perfect gift for a loved one, please don't forget the shelter animals that are looking for a home. I am not suggesting that these dogs and cats should be adopted for a holiday since making the decision to adopt a pet is a life long one and shouldn't be taken lightly. You can donate money, toys, blankets, beds or treats to your nearest shelter. In the Long Beach area, you can help donate to
Santa Paws fundraiser this Saturday. The
Humane Society and
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary will also take donations to help homeless pets this holiday season.
It was hard to go to the shelter to see all of the animals looking for a home. At times I had to fight back the tears but I kept on with the hopes that this may get to someone who is looking for a life long companion. When I returned home, I told Max about it and he offered up one of his beds and some treats so we will be back to deliver these items to help keep them warm during the winter. All of these dogs are available for adoption at the
SPCALA Long Beach animal shelter.
