A Small Act That Makes a Big Difference
The shelters and rescues in our communities work so hard to care for animals who’ve been lost, abandoned, or surrendered. But no matter how much love they have to give, they still need help keeping all those bowls full.
That’s what National Feed a Rescue Pet Week is all about — taking a moment to lend a hand (or a can) to pets waiting for their forever homes.
Why It Matters
Rescue groups rely on donations to keep going. Food is one of their biggest needs, especially during summer when stray intakes often rise. When you donate even a small bag of food or a few cans, you help shelters stretch their resources and feed more animals in need.
If you’ve ever adopted a pet, you know how much it matters that someone looked out for them until you found each other.
Simple Ways to Help This Week
1. Drop off food at your local shelter.
Call first to see what they need most — dry kibble, wet food, puppy milk replacer, or special diets.
2. Start a mini food drive.
Ask friends, neighbors, or coworkers to pitch in. Even a few extra bags make a difference.
3. Donate online.
Many rescues have wish lists or donation links so they can order exactly what they need.
4. Share and spread the word.
If you can’t give, you can still help by sharing posts from your local shelters. The more people who know about National Feed a Rescue Pet Week, the more animals get fed.
A Note From Us at 2 Fur Doodie
At 2 Fur Doodie, we love a good reason to give back. Our dogs bring us so much joy, and we believe every pet deserves a safe place and a full belly while they wait for a home.
If you’ve got a little extra room in your heart or pantry this week, consider helping out a shelter near you. And if you’re out and about delivering food, our Pocket Pouch Harness can help keep your hands free (because let’s be honest, donations plus dog plus leash = potential chaos).
Thanks for Caring
Every can, every bag, every dollar adds up. Whether you give a lot or a little, you’re making life brighter for pets who haven’t found their people yet.
So here’s to a week of giving, sharing, and remembering how good it feels to help.
If you donate this week, tag us in your photos — we’d love to celebrate with you.
