Nina Perino’s Post

✋🏼PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE✋🏼 Last week I spoke about how proud I was to be part of IAPWA and how, without a huge Marketing Budget, we passionately created a campaign, out of kindness and belief in this cause. What I didn't mention is that I volunteer for IAPWA. Yes I have a 'title' that may suggest otherwise, but the truth is, most of our small team are made up from volunteers, kindly giving up precious hours in their week who have joined our tribe and tirelessly working to provide a brighter future for animals 🙏🏼 I also mentioned how powerful 'Word Of Mouth' was as a tool to get a positive message out to an audience. Being honest, that backfired on me! Why? Well no-one spread the IAPWA word. 🤯 In a world where we are overwhelmed with social content, its easy to understand why people scroll on by or algorithm's don't always go in your favour. Let's face it, without money to throw into advertising, it is tough! But you won't see IAPWA doing TV ads, sending postal updates, giving you a cuddly toy.. Even if we did have the money, we still wouldn't, because that money can go direct to the animals in need and thats exactly what we do. With IAPWA your donation is invested directly into animals in need today and in building a brighter future for animals tomorrow. If you have read this far..THANK YOU.. I am almost done! ☕️Can you spare £2.31 a week (less than a shop brought coffee)? Or 📣Can you help us spread the IAPWA word? Either will take less time out of your day, than it did to read this, but we would be eternally grateful for your kindness. Help me restore faith in 'Word of Mouth'

A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the annual toy drive! As a whole, there were around 500 donations for the Dekalb and Fulton animal shelters! If you did not get a chance to donate, it’s not too late!

If you want to give a gift that’s Easter-bunny themed but won’t put animals at risk of harm, consider: Donating to a small animal charity! There are many groups working to protect and re-home small domestic animals like rabbits. A donation to one in someone’s honour can be a beautiful gift that keeps giving. Volunteering! Between humane societies, wildlife rehabilitators, and small-animal rescues, there’s no shortage of places needing help. Give some of your time with a loved one to help animals directly this way. Chocolates or candies! A gift of rabbit-shaped or themed (and plant-based) chocolate or candy is another fun way to enjoy the season and provide joy without putting animals at risk. If you are STILL interested in adding a rabbit to your family, please look up a local rescue who can ensure you have the best possible information to give your new family member a great and long-lasting life!

I used to call myself an animal lover. Oh, those sweet little kittens with their fluffy coats! Those adorable puppies with sweet eyes! Those majestic horses with graceful, arched backs! And then someone pointed out that loving animals means ALL animals. And "all animals" includes 😕 cockroaches 😦 mosquitoes 😩 and slugs. Oh. Cuddling up with a kitten is one thing, but cozying with a cockroach? Not my idea of a good time. Are you an animal lover? And have you ever donated to an animal charity? #fundraising #nonprofit #nonprofits #goldfinchcopy Keep the conversation alive with your donors. Work with me on your fundraising strategy, donor communications, and list building.

When you’re decluttering your home, don’t forget that your gently used items can make a big difference for animals in need! Local animal shelters are always in need of clean towels, blankets, pet beds, and other supplies to keep animals comfortable and cared for while they wait for their forever homes. Instead of tossing those old linens or pet supplies, consider donating them to your local shelter. It’s a small gesture that goes a long way in improving the lives of animals in your community. Every item you donate helps provide warmth, comfort, and happiness to pets in need. Let’s declutter with compassion and make an impact today! 💙 What to Donate: Towels, blankets, and bedding Pet supplies like toys and beds Cleaning supplies 📍 Contact your nearest shelter to find out their current needs! #DeclutterForGood #AnimalShelterSupport #GiveBack #SupportLocalShelters #PetsInNeed #EZDeclutterSolutions

Tomorrow (August 15th) is National Check the Chip Day! No matter how careful you are, there's always that chance that your cat will slip outside and go missing. And every year, thousands of cats end up in shelters with no way to get home because they aren't chipped, or the chip information is out of date. Here's some things you can do for Check the Chip Day: *Find your cat's chip registration information and make sure that it's up to date with current contact numbers. *Visit the vet clinic with your cat and ask them to do a chip check. It takes just a few minutes to make sure that the chip is functioning correctly. (Call ahead and let them know you're coming!) *Consider donating funds to your local shelter or animal rescue to help cover the cost of some microchips, or, if someone you know needs to microchip their cat, consider "gifting" the cost to them. #nationalcheckthechipday #everycathealth #cathealth #cat #cats #felinehealth #felinemedicine

Stop the Next Pandemic: Protect Dairy Cows, Protect Public Health!! The H5N1 virus threatens both animals and public health, with experts warning of a potential pandemic far worse than COVID-19. Despite the virus spreading across numerous dairy herds in the U.S., the industry is not required to test for it. In Defense of Animals is urging Congress to prioritize public health over profits by enforcing mandatory bulk milk tank testing nationwide. Your donation today to support IDA’s campaign will fund protests, awareness campaigns, and outreach efforts to hold the dairy industry accountable while advocating for a plant-based, cruelty-free food system. https://lnkd.in/eVrSwFmi
