I think it is totally awesome to donate time and money to animal shelters. Each and everyone of us makes a huge difference! Please support Chloey animal shelter in Oregon...I know there are alot of Etsians on here from Oregon. I live in FL and we have shelter who take in a lot of gulf coast animal victims from hurricanes too.......me and my extended family do all we can locally to give blankets, donate on a regular basises to the thrift store, visit the shelter, give encouragement to the ladies running the program...they need to hear praise too! If you can't afford to donate money, please donate your TIME, your unused items to the thrift stores...and donate more time....some furbabies just need to be held, petted and reassured it is going to be okay :) xoxoxo
