Hello and welcome to Animal Expert. In this video, we'll talk about animal shelters and how we can help improve the quality of life of all those who live in these centers. In general, the resources available to these centers, whether public or private, are usually insufficient to keep the hundreds of animals they take in in perfect condition. That's why everyone's collaboration is so important. If you want to know how you can help an animal shelter during don't miss this video. 1. Make small donations it's not necessary to donate large amounts of money to help, as bringing bags of food, blankets, toys or collars are also very necessary contributions. However, for those who prefer to make financial donations, each center has a donation plan that should be consulted. Of course, it's also possible to contribute the amount that each person can afford, as any help is welcome. Riku Seul, in charge of the Barcelona Protection League, explains to us how donations are received for his shelter. Yes, let's see. We are a private entity and we are supported by the contributions that people make. Basically, we have members who contribute a fee of €10 per month, sponsors, which is another way of helping, which is €15 per month, and then people who want to make donations. There are people who don't want to help, but they don't want to be required to pay a certain amount each month. So, well, they come here to visit, I don't know what, and they leave €50. Well, all this helps. Sometimes a store or a vet will tell us that they have stock there, that people have left them, or that they can't sell due to expiration dates or such. And sometimes they give it to us too. 2. Pay attention to the campaigns More and more accessory and food stores are carrying out donation campaigns for animal shelters and protectors. They are held at specific times of the year and consist of collecting food, blankets, towels, collars, etc. To take to these centers. So pay attention to these campaigns and don't hesitate to make your donation. 3. Promote responsible spreading messages that defend responsible adoption. It also helps prevent future abandonments and they therefore control the entry of animals that arrive at shelters. 4. Report the illegal sale of animals to promote responsible adoption. Do not hesitate to report all advertisements for the sale of illegal animals. To do this, go to the authorities and follow their instructions. 5. Become a volunteer There is no better way to help animal shelters than by volunteering. Volunteer work is needed to feed dogs, cats and small animals, take them for walks, bathe them, brush them and give them affection. If you love animals and want to help, do not hesitate and become a volunteer, of course. Keep in mind that being a volunteer implies a certain commitment both to the animals themselves and to the center. Henrique Sway tells us what it means to be a volunteer and what requirements must be met. It's good to come here and spend a few hours helping out here, well, cleaning or doing the things that need to be done around the shelter. To be a volunteer, you must be of legal age, of course, and commit to coming up at least once every 15 days. Now that you know how to help an animal shelter, do your bit and improve their conditions, any help, no matter how small, is good.
