How do I start an organization for helping animals?

Question

I dont have money, but I want to start some kind of donation or care for abused animals. There are animals who are put to sleep after their owners pass on (die). This makes me sad, because I once saw a picture of a dog curling up and laying next to his owners body on the ground (the body was covered w/ a sheet). This brought tears to my eyes. This animal who depended on his loyal owner had no where to go, no food, and now no one to love him. I want to start some kind of organization to collect money or anything to help these poor animals who are left behind.

Answer 1

well, you cant donate if you have nothing to donate. These animals will probably end up dead anyways because chances are that no one will want it. Think of it, as the pet being sent to heaven with his owner. Heaven is a better place then the pound.

Answer 2

if you don't have money, you can donate your time!  rescues are everywhere and they always need an extra pair of hands to help out.  i think you have to be at least 16 to volunteer, altho in some places, the age might be 18.

i commend you for wanting to do something to help the many thousand of animals in need!  good luck!

Get together with some friends who also love animals, and start your own type of adoption. You should work with the dogs and make sure that they are able to be accepted into homes. once you get a few pets adopted and people see how well behaved they are, more and more people will want to adopt them from you.

To me, owning an animal sanctuary would be a dream come true. It takes a huge commitement though. You have to have excellent organization skills, which I unfortunately lack. You can't start any organzation/sanctuary without money, so you first need to get some money. Do this before you start anything, as taking care of animals can be very expensive. I suggest talking to other animal sanctuaries and rescues and asking them how they get their money and funds. Second, you need to decide which type of animals you are wanting to help. Let me know once you get to this step...I can try to help you further!

Answer 5

Well unfortunatley if you dont have any money you are sunk in the water right there.  Rescues need a lot of money.  Don't let this stop you from joining already existing rescues and organizations in your area.  You can do a lot to help them and I'm sure they'd be more than happy to have you help.  This will give you a lot of experience as to the business side of this kind of operation so if you are ever able to have enough money you will already be very experienced.

Answer 6

You should go around your neigborhood and have people join in with you and think of ways to earn money and save animals. Kinda like starting a club! Hope I helped! =]

Answer 7

find a company that will help you with a fund raiser.have a raffle.get together with other animal lovers and brainstorm an idea and let every one help out.have a community yard sale and take half of the proceeds and donate them in food for cats and dogs to our local ASPCA.i would not just hand them money you never know what might happen with it.
