Hi again! This is just my two cents worth on how to help a shelter with financial difficulty. Have any of you shelter mom's or dad's tried applying for full or part time jobs at a veterinarian? I know I could never afford the proper vet care did I not work for one. I get all products at cost and services cheap (free exams help a lot!). Even if you just worked one or two days a week in the kennel, most places still give you the full employee discount. Another idea might be a pet supplies or pet store. Some of them offer reasonable employee discounts on the supplies much needed by a shelter. Of the two, the best bet would be a veterinarian. I know from experience you can't go a week without one of them needing to go in for something (even if it's just a vaccine). Just my thought for the day. If you know your vet well, try asking for an app and see what happens! I know you won't make as much money per hour as another job, but the discount more than makes up for it if you regularly have large vet bills.
