6th Annual Send a Valentine & Love To a Shelter Fur Baby

Give the purr-fect gift this Valentine's Day to a shelter animal in need. Shelter pets long for a forever home, so while they wait let's show them they aren't forgotten, and are loved by many near and far.

These sweet creatures will spend the majority of their stay at a shelter in a cold and sterile environment that lacks the luxuries of what a forever home could provide them. Shelters do as much as they can for these precious animals as they wait to get adopted, but they often can't afford the extras that would make a fur baby's stay more comfortable.

These Valentine gifts are a paw-some way to show that you care, and provide a sense of coziness and relaxation to a fur baby need who might otherwise be stressed and scared in a shelter. Give this generous gift of love, joy and comfort this Valentines Day to a furry friend who will be forever grateful.

A blanket with love keeps these sweet innocent fur babies warm on chilly nights and provides a sense of comfort and security for them.

Sweetie Pet Pack includes a blanket, a toy and a bag of treats for our furry friends awaiting a forever home.

Ultimate Valentine pack includes a blanket to keep a fur baby warm, treats, and a toy. This pack also includes a leash or a collar that gives the shelter workers and volunteers the ability to better train shelter dogs so they are more adoptable. Leashes and collars also give shelter workers the ability to take these sweet fur babies for much appreciated walks. Help and care for these fur babies with a variety of goodies!

Each Valentine gift also gives at least 12 meals for shelter animals.

Impact:

• This sweet dog was adopted and his new family was given some treats, toys, new collar and a leash to help with the transition. They are so thankful for their the goodies and for their new pup!

• Delilah, a two year old mixed breed, loved her new toy she got! She was transferred to the Humane Society of Sarasota County the same day that packages of goodies from GreaterGood arrived. "It was a lucky stroke since the sweet girl was not feeling the greatest and needed some toys and treats right away". These goodies helped her ease into her new environment, and the humane society made sure she got lots of love and attention. Not too long after this photo, she was adopted by a military veteran who was delighted that Delilah would become part of their family.

• Meet Cleopatra. "Cleopatra's owner has been unable to afford the rising cost of vet care for Cleopatra and her sister. Thanks to our pay-what-you-can model vaccine clinic, he got both his cats in for their first ever vaccines and exams. While our immediate surrounding community has several vet clinics, access to them is still incredibly difficult for our low income neighbors. Appointments are in high demand, routine visits cost half a minimum wage paycheck, and clinics require payment for emergencies up front. While there is no clear-cut solution to the veterinary shortage and cost crisis, we can alleviate some of the pressure on local clinics by offering preventative services like vaccine, microchips, and spay/neuter to help support the overall herd health in our community on a big picture level. On an individual level, it also changes the lives of families like Cleopatra's by allowing them to seek the care they so desperately want but can't access. Cleopatra and her sister went home with blankets, treats, food, and toys to take some pressure off of their loving owner. Offering services like these helps keep pets with the families that love them instead of our shelter" - Marta Pierpoint of Humane Society of Western Montana.

• This sweet lady received a new purple collar when she arrived at the Wisconsin Humane Society. WHS has been implementing a foster program for over 25 years and has served over 30,000 animals since 2013.
