As the fiscal year is coming to an end, let's reflect on the power of donations to support the incremental work of animal advocacy organisations and individuals. Amplify your impact for animals by directly donating to organisations. Alternatively, join the "Giving for Animals" pledge and commit to donating a portion of your income each year. This simple act ensures a steady stream of support for organizations. Visit https://lnkd.in/g_RacEzH to know more!

We need your help to continue our mission at Badass Animal Rescue. Myself and my husband have 2 rescue dogs who are the light of our lives. There are so many dogs in need, and every contribution, no matter the size, has a direct impact on the lives of at-risk dogs. Not only do your donations provide necessary medical care and rescue operations, but they also offer these amazing Badasses a second chance at life. Anyone who has a dog will know the love and joy they can bring into our lives - please help us give more dogs a chance! How You Can Help Donate: Every contribution, big or small, has a direct impact. Your donation goes toward immediate needs like medical expenses, foster care supplies, and rehabilitation programs. Share: Help us reach a wider audience by sharing our page on your social media, via email, or through word of mouth. The more people who know about our cause, the more support we can garner. #BadassAnimalRescuePawToPawChallenge

How will you serve in 2024? Here are some ideas for helping your community: reach out to a neighbor in need, perform an act of random kindness, mentor children at your local school, volunteer at a local soup kitchen or food bank, donate blood, or volunteer at the local animal shelter, rescue group, or humane society. Helping people in your community not only makes it stronger and healthier but also makes you stronger and healthier in the process. Community service is a very worthy endeavor that brings neighbors and others together, helping us all see the bigger picture of life we often miss in living our daily lives.

Just a few things you can do to minimize wild animals nesting on your property.

Did you know these 6 facts about the Buffalo? • The hump of a Buffalo is composed of strong muscles that assist this larger-than-life mammal in running. • The muscles help the Buffalo's front legs reach out farther, providing a longer and more efficient running stride. • The hump also supports the Buffalo’s very large head. • The hair or fur on the Buffalo’s head, shoulders, and front legs is crucial for their survival. The thick fur on the front end keeps flies and other biting insects away as the fur and skin are too thick for them to penetrate. • The tail and back legs achieve the same protective function at the back end. • The Buffalo's short, thinner hair at the hind end helps keep these larger-than-life relatives cool during hot, shadeless prairie days.
