In a perfect world, we wouldn't have homeless pets. Unfortunately, the best we can do, besides adopting, is to donate to and support adoption centers.

There are many ways and programs you can choose to support in order to help reduce the number of helpless animals on the streets. One of them is the spay and neuter program. The biggest factor behind the existence of so many homeless pets is overpopulation, which can be greatly reduced if the pets are unable to procreate.

You can also directly sponsor an animal. By doing so, all of the funds will go toward food, supplies, or veterinary bills for the animal of your choice. This donation can and will alleviate some of the expenses of the animal shelter where the animal is currently living.

Besides donating, your help can be more proactive by organizing an adoption event or a fundraiser—anything goes, and every bit of help matters.

If you have time to spare, you can also volunteer. Shelters and rescue organizations are in constant need of people who can assist them in keeping up with the animals. There are many duties that volunteers can help with, such as cleaning, socializing with pets, taking dogs on walks, feeding, and volunteering as foster parents.

We create pet adoption posts each month, and over time we have seen many smiling faces. So if you would like to go through this year's previous releases, feel free to check out June Edition, May Edition, April Edition, March Edition, February Edition, and January Edition.
