Since the 19th of July, Be the Change for Pets has challenged everyone to be the change by donating food and supplies to local shelters for their Dog Days of Summer Food Drive. Though the food drive was suppose to end on the 31st, it was extended to August 7th. That was great news for slacking and absent-minded humans like mine.
To participate, all you have to do is pick a shelter, pet food bank, or rescue that you want to make a donation to, buy some food, collect towels or blankets, get any supplies a shelter might be in need of, and just make your delivery! If you want to document your donation, just print out a Be the Change flier and have someone snap your photo with the flier and the donation. You can then upload your photos onto the Be the Change for Pets’ facebook page.
Because Friday was the 2nd anniversary of when I was brought to live with my humans, mom and I decided to take the money she would have spent celebrating my “Gotcha Day” and spend it on our donation. We picked up a big bag of Nutro dog food and four cans of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul kitty food to give to the Humane Society of Knox County, our local shelter. 
Obviously it was kind of hard to not only give up potential presents but to also have to see some food that could fill my belly be given away. I am slowly starting to understand how important it is to give, especially to those (four-legged or not) who are in need, and dogs and kitties looking for their forever homes are definitely in need.
Has anyone made or is anyone thinking about making a donation for the Dog Days of Summer Food/Supplies Drive?
Happy tail wags!
