Furry Animal Shelter: Non-Profit Organizations

“Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats” (Pet Statistics). Many animals are rescued and taken to shelters all around the United States. These shelters provide all the resources and take care of the animals until they are well or adopted. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA, is a non-profitable organization that is dedicated to preventing animal cruelty. You should donate money to the ASPCA or even adopt a pet if able to because it provides money to the animals to give them the necessities they need, it supports the animals that have been poorly treated, and it helps get animals out of poor

Choosing to buy an animal from an animal shelter is less expensive, and will save an individual more money than purchasing a dog or cat from a pet store. Buying an animal that already has it’s required shots, spay or neuters saves the owner money as well. Also, if the animal has diseases such as heartworm, intestinal parasites, or dental

Animals that enter shelters are either lost pets that don’t have ID tags or microchips or stray and feral animals who have never known the love of a human.

Have you ever seen the ASPCA commercials where they show pictures of abused and neglected animals while the Sarah McLachlan song “In the Arms of an Angel” plays in the background? It is heart wrenching to watch and I always want to help those poor, defenseless animals. I took this opportunity to volunteer at the Town and Country Animal Shelter; a non-profit, no-kill shelter run entirely by volunteers serving eastern Nebraska and beyond. They are dedicated to providing a safe and caring living facility for pets in need until a loving home can be found, as well as helpful information for those wishing to rehome or adopt an animal. I chose this organization because they are a no kill shelter and they take in animals of all different sorts.

When most people think about Animal Control shelters, it usually negative. Animal control shelters get an unjust reputation of just being a place where unwanted, problem dogs go to be euthanized. I mean, you call the your local animal control office when you see a stray dog hanging around the neighborhood, right? They show up in a van or truck driven by a uniformed officer who carries a scary looking pole with a loop on it to catch animals. Well, there’s more to your local animal control shelter than just catching stray dogs and cats.

An animal shelter is a place where stray, lost, abandoned, or surrendered animals, mostly dogs and cats and sometimes sick or wounded wildlife, are brought. Animal shelters are essential in the United States because of inattentive pet proprietorship and uncontrolled breeding of animals. People often get pets without a full understanding of the time, money, and space that they require. Regrettably, that recurrently results in pets being abandoned or abused by these owners. Apart from accountable breeders, owners should spay or neuter their pets to stop the serious overpopulation problem, which is happening in the United States. Shelters do not treat or stop the problem of unwanted pets but without them the stray pet population would be astronomical. There would be more problems with disease spread and an increased incidence of stray animal-induced injuries. A shelter should also be a domicile where animals could be benign and feel loved and taken care of; not just a drop off. The shelter in my community tries to do their best with their animals, but I feel that the shelter needs to be able to do their jobs better and for the animals to feel comfortable.

The North Shore Animal League will first discuss animal rights and how animal abuse and homelessness is at an all-time high today among animals. There will also be various pictures and statistics shown to offer the audience insight on which dog and cat breeds are the most abused and homeless. For example, due to their small size and temperament with people Chihuahuas are among one of the most abused and homeless dog breeds. The organization will then discuss their plan to remedy the issue of animal abuse and homelessness by opening up animal shelters in urban areas in Staten Island and Brooklyn to lower animal abuse and homelessness. These shelters will provide the animal’s food, water, and medicine, which are the main necessities for them to survive. By opening these new shelters, it will ensure the animal’s safety and well-being until people are ready to adopt and bring them home.

As any other organization, Furry Animal Shelter needs to have a HRM policy, this policy is important because it’s critical to create an environment where people work together towards

Well, luckily, there are shelters in different places that help animals that aren’t able to take care of themselves. Did you know that every year 3.3 million dogs and 3.2 million cats enter animal shelters in U.S.? If you think that figure was huge, now imagine around 1.5 million of them are being euthanized every year because the shelter doesn’t have enough money or volunteers (ASPCA) to take care of them. However, this number can be significantly reduced if we start to make a change. With my speech, I would like to persuade you to from now on look for pets in a shelter instead of a pet store. In order to do this, I will provide information about the differences between shelters and pet stores, reasons to adopt a pet, and how to do it.

Friends of Homeless Animals Inc. offer several programs allowing volunteers and peers around the community to help and support the organization. The first program involves donations, whether it comes to donating money or supplies to help these animals sufficiently. Another program is called Shopping for a Cause, which allows families to adopt rescue dogs through various websites to give them a loving home. Lastly, the FOHA has a program where individuals can foster dogs in order to save them from being placed on the streets or in animal shelters. (FOHA). Every organization has a constituency in which the organization as a whole has a designated target in which they intend to influence and recruit certain individuals (quote 1). For instance, the FOHA targets families in the community. In other words, the organization is serving families who

My number one goal for the shelter is to improve the quality of care of animals, I will do this by having a small clinic inside the shelter that focus on maintaining accurate medical record and provide medical care. This clinic will provide care to the dogs and cats that become shelter’s property with standard vaccinations, grooming, microchip, flea treatment, etc. Also, I will have staff that will clean cat condos, dos kennels, they will also do laundry and provide animals with clean blankets every day. Volunteers on the

Shelters and rescues are abused pets. (Many of the pets left in the care of shelters and rescues are given up by their family due to sickness, inability to care for them and/or old age.)

Loser friends agree to pull off a unique animal shelter heist, but end up being pursued by an eccentric hitman and the FBI.

Unlike pet stores which are usually privately-owned, some shelters are managed by the local government and are even funded by the taxes we pay. Some shelters, on the other hand, are managed by non-government organizations and are funded by donations and charitable contributions. Some of these shelters may even be associated with animal welfare organizations which provide guidelines on operating the shelter as well as educating the staff, pet owners, and the community.
