Please Help Us Teach Pet Responsibility!

Over the past few years, Companions For Life has come to the aid of dozens of local pet rescue groups and animal shelters by providing free professional humane education materials for their use. We've been able to do this thanks to the support of our wonderful donors who understand the important role education plays in improving the lives of pets in the Metroplex. But this year, more than ever, we need your help. The economy has hit all of the rescue groups and shelters very hard. Donations have dried up and they are having trouble making ends meet. Vet bills are eating up their funds faster than ever, while the number of animals surrendered continue to rise due to foreclosures and job losses. For many groups, education has become a luxury they can no longer afford. Please help us help them spread the word!

Your donation to Companions For Life will go directly toward the purchase of humane education materials to teach children to be responsible pet owners, teach adopters basic pet care, promote responsible pet ownership, encourage the public to do their part to fix the pet overpopulation problem, and much more! From videos for classroom presentations to door hangers about tethered dogs, from fliers about winter pet care tips to bookmarks urging teens to talk to their parents about spaying and neutering their pet, Companions For Life purchases these materials from national leaders in education - the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the National Humane Education Society, and American Humane Association, to name just a few. Purchasing in large quantities allows us to take advantage of huge discounts so we get more materials for less money! Won't you please help us today? Only $ 7.50 buys a packet of 50 spay/neuter bookmarks for kids, $ 9.99 buys a 48-page reproducible workbook for children grades K-3, $15.00 buys 100 fliers explaining basic pet care for dogs or cats, or $ 24.95 buys a "Dogs, Cats & Kids" educational video for an elementary school.
