Support Animals In Need in November


NowShenzhen   |   November 28, 2019

Regular Shenzhen residents have moved mountains to rescue and rehome animals who would have otherwise had very uncertain fates – it is impossible to number how many dogs and cats in this city have had their worlds turned around by an individual who chose to take them off the street and see their journey to a forever home through. But if those last stops – fosters and a forever home – are not found soon, many rescued animals languish in cages in vet clinics day in and day out. Rescuers and the animals they support are only able to restore these animals to a good quality of life with the help of a supportive, compassionate community at large.

The top four ways to lend a hand in helping the rescued dogs in this article is by fostering, adopting, donating, and sharing. Fostering entails allowing a rescuer’s animal to temporarily live in your home, helping to provide it with food, shelter, and basic necessities. Adoption entails adding an animal companion as a permanent part of your family and requires filling out an application. Donating is straight forward – provide financial support to help the rescuer cover veterinary bills. Lastly, perhaps the most effective thing one can do to help find an animal’s forever home is simply share their case on social media.

At the end of the day, when an animal is finally safe and sound with their forever family, every effort is worth it for all involved. Below is a list of featured dogs in needs of support! Scan the corresponding QR codes to get in touch with rescuers to foster, adopt, donate or share.
