Though the situation is changing rapidly for everyone and everything, there are still things you can do, right now, to help the animals in your neighborhood and across the country
Photo: Camille Tokerud/Getty Images The current global pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding it have created new sources of need and shined a light on those that have always existed. There are many people and organizations that suddenly have a new or increased need for whatever you can give: local food banks, small businesses, the ACLU, your own neighbors. Animal shelters are suffering, too. .
What used to be an in-person foster orientation has become an online orientation, including a post-orientation quiz. “We also talk with people when they come to pick up an animal, and set them up for success. We give them food and leashes. The orientation is really just so people understand what the commitment is.”
2. Donate money. Nonprofit rescues that rely on donations are seeing increased need after having to suspend all in-person fundraising efforts; things like corporate events, charity spin classes, and festivals. “I know times are hard for everyone. A lot of people are out of jobs,” Anna Lai, a spokesperson for Muddy Paws, a nonprofit dog rescue in New York City, said.
3. Donate supplies. “As we’re sending out so many animals home with fosters,” Katy Hansen, of the ACC, said, “we’re giving all of our foster parents items like food and leashes and crates. So we’re now running low on those things.” ACC set up an Amazon wishlist, like many rescues have, where people can purchase supplies for them, so going out into the world to help is not necessary.
