Social media and the internet is essential when it comes to animal advocacy. Here at Project R.E.A.C.H., we think it is very important to use the tools that social media provides us to give back to animals and the people who support them in our communities. You will notice that we've added some search engines on the right side of our page, to promote animal adoption, as well as the ability of families to bring their pets with them when they travel for vacations.
Adopt-A-Pet and Petfinder are two wonderful websites where animal shelters and rescues can post information about available pets so people like you and me can be "matched" to our new family members. You can set different parameters to help you narrow your search. Be sure to share these websites with everyone you know because it is a great place to find a forever friend. In fact, each of my adopted pups, Boo Boo, Niko, Rudy, and Harley, were found using Petfinder. Webpages like this are doing wonderful work to make sure pets are able to have the "happy tails" they deserve.
Also, if you've ever been in the predicament about finding a place that will allow you to vacation and bring along ALL of your beloved family members, BringFido may be able to help you out. Choose the location of where you'd like to go, set your dates, and let the page search out pet-friendly hotels and rentals in the area.
I just wanted to share! Hopefully these sites will prove useful to you! :)
Project R.E.A.C.H. was born from my passion for animals, and my desire to create awareness about animal adoption, standing up against animal cruelty, and promoting responsible pet ownership. I decided that my classroom would be a great place to start to make a change, beginning with my students! Start small. Think BIG. R.E.A.C.H.
