A Shortage Of Food In Animal Rescue Centres

One of the long considered joys in the world is
having a pet dog. A continual, patient
companion, a best friend who will not talk back
but is always there with a reassuring wag of the
tail. Having a dog develops life time memories.

Rescue centres play a pivotal role in making
this dream become a reality. Every year they
take in an amazing amount of dogs for many
reasons. There are many reasons people can't
keep their dogs. Some reasons cited are
landlords don't allow pets, the cost of taking
care of the dogs, personal problems, and no
homes available for puppies, among others. This
usually results in the dogs being taken to the
centres, be it a larger charity or smaller,
regional facilities run by volunteers.

All shelters provide a wonderful service, free
of charge to the people who drop off the dogs.
The care provided by the workers is a very
important one. The dogs get to live with dignity
and proper care while waiting for adoption. Many
get adopted out to wonderful homes. This is a
service which cannot be understated.

Adoption is a great way to find a wonderful pet.
Most rescue dogs are loving and loyal. Many a
great friendship has started at a shelter.
Knowing this makes it that much more important
to support your local rescue centre, especially
by donating essential food for the dogs.

The biggest problem facing rescue shelters is
the cost. Many dogs arrive sick, injured, or not
well cared for. Action has to be taken, sometimes
costly. There are many different costs associated
with having a dog. These include, among other
things, emergency procedures, vaccinations,
kennel upkeep and food. Food ends up being one
of the biggest expenses, especially when you
don't know how long a dog will be with you. One
thing to keep in mind is that there is a very
small amount of people who can donate time or
services such as spaying, neutering or
performing emergency task

The workers and volunteers give as much as
possible but there usually ends up being a
shortfall in funds. The emergency list takes
precedent over other matters. Many times this
leaves precious little for food. If a dog is to
be healthy for adoption it must eat properly.
Although it may seem to be an afterthought, food
for rescue dogs is always in short supply.

But, donating pet food, it is a great way to
give back to the rescue shelters. Every little
bit helps and the dogs never stop eating. It is
difficult to estimate how much food will be
needed at a given time so any type of food
donation is always appreciated. For the average
person who is busy with their lives, donating
dog food is the best and easiest way to make
sure those four footed friends stay healthy for
when they are adopted. There is no such thing as
too much food, it will always find a use
somewhere.

So make sure to think about those dogs awaiting
adoption when you are in the dog food aisle, it
will be greatly appreciated.
