Now that the Holidays are over....We can't forget the next biggest holiday!
Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Not sure about YOU… But I'm still rounding up stray pine needles stuck in the rug and eating the few remaining arms and legs of broken gingerbread men. I really don't need a tempting box of fancy chocolates or a lavish meal out on the town. How can I bring more meaning to a day that has become yet another opportunity to show affection and commitment through expensive presents and bouquets of flowers forced to bloom in the dead of winter?
You don't have to look far to figure that one out. The pets in OUR SHELTER need help all year long. We feel good about ourselves during the holidays when we buy a gift for a needy pet or donate to a shelter. Why stop there when you can volunteer or donate to a local nonprofit or charity like OURS – one that's doing so many great things for the pets and people in our own community?
According to one year's "Valentine's Day Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey" by the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, the average annual Valentine's Day spending reached $19.7 billion. The amount the average American spends on Valentine's Day is $146.84.
Think of how OUR SHELTER might spend that money to help the pets and people in our community!
MOST Everyone LOVES to celebrate Valentines Day (regardless of if you have a significant other! Because YOUR furry friend/s are the best relationship you could ask for!) WE think any pet owner or self-confessed animal addict will agree, we don't need any justification for the love we have for our animal buddies…they JUST ARE the best thing in our lives.
Our furry friends (more often than not) our life coach, best friend, personal trainer and counsellor…we just don't know what we'd do without them! AND Unlike people, they're always there for us when we need them, regardless of how fat, stupid or ugly we feel…our pets just love us, exactly for who we are! So, if all that isn't enough to sell it to you (really? What's wrong with you!?) then the list of 20 reasons why animals are TOTALLY better than humans should win you over!
