22 February 2013 Pets In The City Magazine Elizabeth Cornwall Many of our readers have rescued their companion animal or animals from a local shelter or one of the many amazing rescue organizations in Utah. But for some of us, right now isn’t the best time to adopt a companion animal or for others, you’re at your capacity to adopt any more. So how can you help the thousands of animals in desperate need of assistance? Our local shelters and rescue groups are not only in need of guardians to give homeless animals a forever home, but are also in need of people to foster, volunteer, or donate. For the extremely generous animal lovers out there who want to help, but don’t know where to start, here is a list of a few of the many wonderful local organizations who would greatly appreciate any time, money, or items you have to offer: HUMANE SOCIETY OF The Humane Society of Utah is a non- UTAH 1960 profit organization that relies solely on donations to help the homeless pets of Utah. Along with a continual need for monetary donations, HSU could also use any time you have to volunteer at the shelter, and any of the following items: EST. Love For the of ALL • Kitten milk replacement (KMR) • Newspaper (for lining animal cages) • Puppy milk replacement (Esbilac) • Cat Food • Dog Food • Paper towels • Polar Fleece blankets and towels (to provide softer bedding) • Latex Gloves — large, medium, and small (for cleaning soiled cages, soiled laundry, and for medical purposes) Any items for donation can be dropped off at the shelter Monday through Sunday during business hours.

Ching Farm Sanctuary & Rescue in Herriman houses and cares for dozens of farm animals that would otherwise have been slaughtered.

Paws for Life is a non-profit organization in Heber City that helps find forever homes for surrendered, lost, and abandoned dogs, cats, and horses in the Heber Valley. They also help to ensure the animals that come into the Heber shelter are immunized, spayed, and neutered, as well as help pay for the medical costs of sick animals in the shelter. In addition to volunteer time and fostering, Paws for Life would greatly appreciate any donations of the following items: • Dog leashes • Collars • Dog treats • Cat Litter (clay) • Small towels • Cat or Dog Carriers • Cleaning Supplies Animals For more information on volunteering, foster, or donating to Paws for Life visit pflu.org.
