Next week is Be Kind To Animals Week! Here are some things you can do to be kind to wildlife and domestic animals:

Speak out for animals
Get informed about policies and legislation that can impact the animals in your community and throughout the country. Advocacy for animals can make a huge difference in their safety and well-being.

Report animal abuse
Animal cruelty and abuse is not only tragic for animals, but also an indicator that other forms of abuse such as domestic violence could be happening. If you see something that looks suspicious -- don’t hesitate. Let someone know.

Appreciate wildlife
All animals deserve to be treated humanly -- family pets and animals in the wild. Create an inviting space in your yard and garden for butterflies, hummingbirds and other creatures. If wildlife comes too close to home, look for ways to coexist with animals or to protect your property humanely.

Adopt a pet from a shelter or rescue
Help animals find a second chance at happiness by adopting your next pet from your local shelter or rescue group.

Lots of long-term animals were adopted this weekend...Addy, Tulip, Crockett & Tubbs...and a bonded cat/dog duo! Thanks to everyone who saved a life by adopting a shelter animal.
 
We still have lots of cats, rabbits, dogs, and more companions who need permanent homes, so come to the Marin Humane Society at 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato, CA to meet them!
