Christmas is almost here, but there is still time to find the perfect gift for those on your list - especially the ones who are hard to buy for. 

I think the best gift is one that gives back to those in need. There are so many homeless animals who need our support this holiday season. Spread some Christmas cheer to those you love and animals in need by gifting one of the following Gifts That Give More

Help Fly Shelter Pets to Freedom

Animal shelters are overflowing with homeless dogs and cats. Many highly adoptable animals are at risk of euthanasia due to lack of space and adopters. That's why every month, The Animal Rescue Site sponsors a Good Flight (called Flight to Freedom) that saves dozens of dogs and cats from overcrowded shelters and flies them to shelters with adopters waiting to meet them.

These flights are only possible with your support. Donate towards the cost to fly a pet to safety. A gift anyone would love to get. 

Feed Hungry Shelter Pets

Malnourished dogs and cats continue to arrive at shelters that are already over capacity and struggling to feed all the animals in their care. Animal shelters need our help now more than ever to ensure each homeless dog and cat has a full belly.

Help us reach our goal of providing one million meals to shelter animals. This gift is sure to make the person you gift it to smile and will make the day of shelter pets. 

Save Lives and Prevent Suffering With Spay/Neuter Clinics

The best way to control pet populations is with spay and neuter. Greater Good Charities' Good Fix team travels across the country to underfunded areas and to Ukraine to host FREE spay/neuter clinics.

You can help control pet overpopulation in communities that need it most. Every dollar donated helps sterilize a cat or dog, preventing hundreds of unwanted kittens or puppies.

Help Animals Get Emergency Medical Care

Sick and injured animals arrive daily at shelters and rescues in desperate need of help, like Baby Bubba. He was found severely injured along a busy road. His lower lip had been de-gloved, and he was scooped up and rushed to the nearest veterinary hospital for treatment.

He needs our support to heal. Gift a donation towards his care and help him get the second chance he deserves. 

Send Care Packs to Shelter Pets

Spoil dogs and cats at shelters this holiday season with tasty treats, toys, and comfy beds as they wait for a forever home. The care packs will allow the homeless animals to experience the joy of Christmas. A great gift to give the animal lover on your list.

'Tis the season for giving and what better gift to give than one that saves lives. The animal shelters and the animals are forever grateful for your generosity. Donate now!

May you all have a Happy Paw-liday.
