Are you Looking for a way to help senior cats and dogs?

There are so many ways to help and they are limited only by our imaginations. While donations are always welcome, they are merely the tip of the iceberg!  We’ve listed a few ideas here.

VOLUNTEER!

Are you looking for a rewarding way to spend your time while giving back to your community and earning the adoration and cuddles of senior cats and dogs? We can use volunteers to sit with some of our senior pets and help maintain their environment. Do you have other skills that could help us out? Are you a grant writer? a social media guru? a dog walker? a groomer? Drop us a line and let us know how you can help! Contact [email protected].

Volunteers will be asked to:

1. Sign a waiver, and

2. Take two computer based classes.  To enroll in the classes, create an account at Maddie’s Fund

Then take the following two classes:

Shelter and Rescue Training – Canine

Shelter and Rescue Training – Feline

Please bring your signed waiver and copies of your course certificates with you to volunteer orientation.

Volunteers must be at least 16 years old or accompanied by a responsible adult. Contact Kathy at [email protected] to find an orientation session that works for you.

Spread the Word

We’re a small and relatively new organization.  As such, getting the word out about us is essential!  Please help us by following us, liking and sharing our posts, and leaving us comments on social media.  Leashes End actively posts to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Why not leave us a review on Google while you’re at it?  And let’s not forget about good old fashioned word of mouth.  Please tell your friends and neighbors about us!  You’d be surprised at how important it is to be known.  We’re very proud of our sanctuary and want the world to know!

Facbook or Instagram Fundraiser

Facebook & Instagram have made it really easy for users to set up a fundraiser for their favorite charity … which we hope is Leashes End!  Create a fundraiser to celebrate your birthday, other special occasion, or just because.  You’ll be raising not only much needed donations for Leashes End but also awareness of what we do to help senior pets in need.  Learn more about Instagram fundraising here and Facebook fundraising here.

Next time you’re shopping, why not check out our Wish List.  You can use the link provided or navigate to our link through your account by accessing your own Amazon.com Wish List page and searching for “Leashes End” under “Your Friends.”  Then, if you feel like sending us some pee pads or a box of cat food, we would be super appreciative!

Meaningful Change

This is one of my FAVORITES and it’s a great way for young kids to help! If you’re like me, you have jars and charity boxes just brimming with loose change around your house and office. But what can you do with it? Most banks won’t accept it unless you sort and roll it. But did you know that you can redeem your loose change in any CoinStar machine (found in most supermarkets) for an Amazon.com gift card and skip the fees? If you then wish to donate your gift card to Leashes End, just email us the alphanumeric code. It all adds up to significant savings for us. We’ll turn your loose change into meaningful change for our seniors!
