A new year,
new start. As we set our eyes to bigger and better goals for the new year, I
would like to share with you an opportunity to continue to be a blessing to “others”
in this coming year. I have been supporting an organization that is very near
and dear to my heart. The Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS) has been
founded by a group of volunteers in 2009 initially to raise funds for the
medical care for the animals at the Alameda Animal Shelter. Due to fortuitous
circumstances, these same volunteers ended up taking over the management of the
shelter in 2012 and the rest, as they say, is history.
Today, the
FAAS shelters and cares for the lost and abandoned animals of Alameda, California,
and this is your chance to be a blessing to these wonderful creatures! Here’s
how:
Adopt a Pet –
There are lots of wonderful animals in the shelter just waiting for Good
Samaritans to bring them to their new homes. Whether you are dog lover or a cat
person, you will surely find a very good companion just waiting to be adopted
in the shelter. And even if you are not fond of dogs or cats, you will surely
fall in love with the rabbits!
Make a
Donation – Let’s take this off immediately out of the table, any amount will
do. Any amount that you can donate will be a big help to all of the animals who
not only need immediate medical attention but to all the animals who call the
shelter their temporary home. The good news is that you can make donations not
only via the monetary kind but you can also shop to donate! Joining a rewards
program that donates to your favorite charity is a win-win situation! You get
the merchandise you need and the Friends of Alameda Animal Shelter gets the
much needed monetary support it needs. So if you do most of your shopping
online, please consider making purchases through AmazonSmile, the charity organization
of Amazon. When you choose
Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter as your charity, it will donate 0.5% of
your purchase to FAAS.
Volunteer at
FAAS – One of the best gifts an organization can receive is the gift of time.
Like most organizations, FAAS relies on volunteers to walk the dog, take care
of the cats, wok the kennels, or put in some office work perhaps. Whatever it
is that you can commit to, your time will go a long way to making sure that the
animals are well-taken care of.
There is no
universal answer to the question “why adopt a pet”? There are people who will
say that you will know when the time comes. And yet, there are people who will
insist that you will never know. Whatever the answer to this question is, one
thing is certain: adopting a pet means commitment. When the time comes that you
feel you are ready, go visit the Alameda Animal Shelter. There will always be
someone waiting for you there.
