How Do You Help Homeless Animals Without Adopting Them?
There are people who sympathize with the plight of homeless animals but feel powerless to help them because they can’t adopt them, often due to allergies, not having an animal-friendly lifestyle or being unable to afford a pet. But there are things you can do to contribute to animals’ well-being without becoming a pet owner. Donate money or supplies. No matter the size of the donation, every dime helps. Animal charities like the Humane Society of the United States can set up an automatic deduction from your checking or credit card account each month, or you can send donations whenever you prefer. Contact your local animal shelter and see if it needs dog food, cat litter or clean blankets for bedding. Commit to buying food or toys to drop off each month. Volunteer.

Vet techs can donate their skill
