I am a big believer in this movement - I think that the world could be rid of pet overpopulation if
everyone did this simple thing!
#2 Volunteer
Some people don't want to volunteer at a shelter because they euthanize animals (which is sad because
this is the place that needs volunteers the most!) but there are other options such as rescues,
humane societies, and low cost sterilization clinics.
#3 Educate
Educate yourself on issues relating to animals and then educate others.
#4 Get the community involved
Hold a seminar, post fliers, get people excited about learning the good stuff that can happen when you
spay and neuter (a hint to get peoples attention: spay and neuter = less animals in the shelter = less
money put into the shelter = lower taxes for communities!)
#5 Fundraise
Have a fundraiser (whether it be an event or just going door to door selling stuff) and then either give
the money to a local rescue, etc or use it to sterilize local cats/dogs.
Ideas for Fundraisers
Bonfire or BBQ - many companies such as Tastefully Simple have fundraising options so you could have a
party featuring the food you are going to sell.
Selling things - sell things people around you would be interested in and then sell it at your work, to your
neighbors, to family, try to get your friends to sell it at their work, to everyone you know!
www.fasttrackfundraising.com has great items!
Penny Drive - at a local pet store or just a store in general hold a penny drive and ask for people's extra
change.
Can Drive - have family, friends, neighbors, anyone give you their empty beer or pop cans to take back
