Be Kind to Animals week: May 3-9

This is the Be Kind to Animals Week and what are your plans? How can this day be best celebrated? In my opinion the first and foremost thing to do is to take extra care of your pet, give it a treat, take your dog to the park and let it enjoy the outdoors. One way to pamper your pets is to buy cool stuff for them online at Bring Pets Home website. By doing so you not only get direct access to the offerings of several popular retailers but also you are helping abandoned and shelter animals. Because a percentage of the proceeds will directly go to the health care and food expenses of shelters.

Due to the recession and the large number of home foreclosures, hundreds of pets have been abandoned. These abandoned but highly lovable animals are now at shelters across the country. In a bid to raise awareness about the importance of treating animals kindly and not to abandon them the American Humane Association has launched the Be Kind to Animals Week® May 3-9, 2009. One way you could show your kindness to animals is by donating to shelters. You can start by giving just $1 at this a fundraising Web site specifically created to help shelter animals.

Another reason why animals end up at shelters is by accident. Some pets don't wear their identification on them always, sometimes owners may forget to put them on. If they get lost during this time then it is pretty much impossible to trace its owner. Hence it is important that every pet has its own identification tags which are comfortable, firm and easily readable. You could buy these cool stuff online on the Home Again Web Site and add a $1 donation for shelter animals. As part of the Be Kind to Animals week HomeAgain will make a donation through the website for every pet registered during this week.

HomeAgain is one of the premier agencies in the area of helping recovery of pets. Several owners lose pets and find it very hard to find them again, Home Again steps in and helps recover them. Till date HomeAgain has helped recover over 500,000 lost pets, commendable achievement indeed.

HomeAgain also offers medical insurance for pets and a toll free 24/7 emergency medial assistance hotline. If you are facing a medical emergency related to your pet call 1-888-HomeAgain. HomeAgain suggests that Microchipping is the safest, non-tamperable method of identification which also offers the most sure shot way for reunification of pets with owners.
