There's a place in Freeport where the hungry are fed, the homeless are sheltered, and the abandoned are given care. It's the Humane Society of Grand Bahama shelter, which provides comfort and care for Freeport's unwanted animals. Our shelter offers many other services, too, for pets and their owners and even for people without pets. To do all this, we rely on the support of people like you. Here are a few ways you can help animals, especially those in Freeport:
· Give a little bit. Donate food; old blankets and towels, or other needed supplies to your local shelter. Contribute to one of its special programs.
· Lend a hand. Volunteer your time with us. Bathe and groom the animals, walk dogs, or play with cats. Help us publicize our programmes and events.
· Find that special someone. Choose your next pet from our shelter. We have many wonderful dogs and cats of different shapes and sizes waiting for a loving home.
· Help spread the word. Tell your friends about our services and programmes. Do your part to help promote animal safety and responsible pet ownership.
· Be a responsible pet owner. Keep current identification on your dog or cat at all times. Spay or neuter your pet. Always keep your dog or cat properly confined or supervised. In addition to the basics – food, water, shelter, and veterinary care – give your pets lots of love and attention. Heat can be damaging to an animal's health, so make sure your pet has lots of shade when outside and NEVER leave your animal alone in a parked car, even if it is just for a few minutes.
