Houston has lots of opportunities where you can help out our animal community! One great way is to volunteer your time with the Food for Pets Program with Meals on Wheels for Greater Houston. In an effort to help seniors maintain their independence and assist them as they care for their best friend, Meals on Wheels for Greater Houston has launched a new program to provide donated pet food to the pets of Houston area Meals on Wheels recipients. Volunteers are needed to help deliver pet food to homebound seniors once a month. And deliveries only take 1 1/2 to 2 hours!

Want to help? Contact Tiffany Harris at 713-533-4922 or tharris@imgh.org. Or stop by the Interfaith Ministries offices and donate cat or dog food! They're located at 3217 Montrose at Westheimer.

Looking for other ways to help out? The Houston Zoo is always looking for volunteers. Go to www.houstonzoo.org for more information. Or you can donate money to an area rescue or shelter. Just get creative! And watch the Animal Attraction Blog for more ways that you can help!
