How can you help?
1-Spay or neuter your pets and help stop pet overpopulation. {Last year, over 5,000 cats and dogs were killed in RI public and private shelters because there are not enough homes. That is equal to 14 dogs and cats every day of the year!} There are several great low-cost programs in RI, such as Salmon River Veterinary Services. Also, RI Veterinary Medical Association www.rivma.org has a low-cost/assistance program. 2-Consider adopting a forever friend at the Warwick Animal Shelter (or any other shelter), a brand new, beautiful state of the art animal shelter. Directions: from 95, take the Jefferon Blvd. exit and travel East. The shelter is off Jefferson Blvd.; take a left at D'Angelo's and bear right at the split. Go over the bridge (RT 95) and the shelter is down on the left. Shelter hours are MWF 12-4 PM; Tues 2-6 PM; Th Sat Sun 11-3 PM, closed on holidays.
3-Volunteer! Positions are available for fundraising, direct animal care, dog walking, foster care, etc. NOTE: DOG WALKERS ARE REALLY NEEDED AT THE WARWICK ANIMAL SHELTER DURING THE WEEK! VISIT THE SHELTER OR CALL 401-468-4377 FOR MORE INFO. JUST A FEW HOURS A WEEK WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN A DOG'S LIFE!
4-Help with the Rescue Ride! We need volunteers to help with t-shirt sponsorships, collecting raffle prizes, PR, selling tickets and more. You can give as little or as much time as your schedule permits. Email themightypaw@aol.com to learn more or attend a planning meeting.
5-Donate! Send your tax deductible donation to: Friends of the Warwick Animal Shelter, PO Box 9285, Warwick, RI 02889.
Thank you.
