What can people donate to help an animal shelter?
There are many things that shelters always need. In addition to volunteers to help clean cages, exercise animals, etc., they are always looking for clean blankets and towel. Newspapers, kitty litter and dry and canned food are always welcomed. Another great thing to donate to shelters is gift cards for whatever amount you can afford. Places like PetSmart, WalMart, or other grocery or local pet stores are good choices. With these they can get whatever that particular shelter needs.
