Helping+Animals

Don't forget to help out our animal friends as well! Here are some ideas for how you can help some animals in your community:


 * Adopt a pet! When you are looking for a new pet, start with your local animal shelter.
 * Make a toy for a pet in an animal shelter.
 * Donate your allowance to help buy food for an animal shelter
 * Hold a supply drive for an animal shelter
 * For your birthday, instead of gifts ask for items that your local animal shelter needs
 * Have your birthday party at an animal shelter! You and your friends can volunteer to help walk and play with the animals.
 * Raise money for animal shelters by collecting coins at school, church or other places you can imagine
 * Sponsor a walk-a-thon, bowl-a-thon, read-a-thon, etc. to be backed by pledges of money for an animal shelter
 * Make a bird bath out of a plastic dish and keep it filled with fresh water outside your home or school
 * Provide water and bird seed available year round for local birds
 * Donate items from the Denver Zoo wish list
 * Start a fundraiser to raise money to adopt a tiger, polar bear, penguin, panda or more from the African Wildlife Foundation or the World Wildlife Fund
