Problem: About 6.3 million pets enter animal shelters every year, half being dogs needing specific supplies to stay happy and healthy so they can get adopted. Shelters nationwide face shortages of these critical supplies like blankets, toys, and pet food.
Solution: Take a pledge to give the neighborhood dog a good grooming, but instead of charging their owners, ask them to donate pet supplies to your local shelter. You’ll earn verified volunteer credits and inspire others!
