Rescue is a very time consuming and
expensive job. If you
love your breed and would like to help out in some way, look around your house
for extra things you may have that Siberians can use.
-
Old towels,
blankets and bedding.
-
Bleach and cleaning supplies.
-
Frontline.
-
Heartgard.
-
Paper towels.
-
Food bowls.
-
Water buckets.
-
Dry dog food (Nutro lamb and rice,
lite and senior formula; Wellness fish and potato, chicken, or senior
formula; Pro Plan chicken and rice formula) or an Agway gift certificate for
these items made out to Angels of the Snow.
-

-
Grooming tools: shedding combs,
undercoat rakes, etc.

Donations for Vet expenses may be
made directly to Eastham Veterinary Hospital via check or credit card with

508-255-0149.

emergency boarding expenses may
be sent to Angels of the Snow, P.O. Box 434, N. Eastham, MA

of check.
And, if those aren't enough ideas, here are some
others:
-
Adopt a dog from a
rescue or a shelter.
-
Become a Foster Home to give
temporary care to a dog until a permanent home can be found.
-
If you can't Foster, Sponsor a
rescue at a boarding kennel for a month or longer.
-
Join SiberExpress, our volunteer dog
transporting team.
-
Donate money in any amount whenever
you can. Contributions are tax-deductible.
-
Make a donation In Memory of a
Pet. We'll post it under
Liberty's Memorials.
-
Call your local shelter and make
sure they know about a national or local rescue organization. Click
here for Angels of the Snow
contact information.
-
Volunteer at a rescue or shelter to
groom a dog of your breed or one of your choice. Spending time with a
dog to groom or just visit, even if only 30 minutes, will improve that dog's
chance of getting adopted.
-
Do a home check for a rescuer trying
to place a dog in your area.
-
Spay/Neuter your pets so their
unplanned pregnancies do not eventually end up in rescue.
-
Tell others that are looking for a
pet NOT to buy from a pet store. Instead, have them consider a rescue
or shelter dog, or make sure they know how to choose a responsible
breeder. Click HERE to read the article by
