Every year more and more pets end up in shelters. Unfortunately, a good number of them are euthanized for one reason or another. Animals have no voice of their own, no social safety net and very few legal rights yet. They are vulnerable and unfortunately abused more often than most of us would like to think. Stray dogs and cats really need us! If you are willing to help them, there are many ways to make it happen. Perhaps the most productive of these is starting an online donation campaign or actively joining one.
You can check out our active campaigns in the Animals category.
Pet shelters and rescues need donations from as many people as possible to make them work. Many animal shelters do not have the resources needed to care for sick or injured animals. Approximately 80 percent of euthanized animals are healthy or treatable and could be adopted into new homes. Older dogs and aggressive breeds are also on the list of dogs at risk of euthanasia.
Wondering how you can help? Here are 6 reasons to donate to homeless animal campaigns. Abandoned pets really desperately need everyone's support!
There are many ways to help homeless, sick and abused dogs and cats. But not everyone can afford to donate a large amount of money. This massively stops people from doing it at all. It shouldn't be like this! We at the Pavel Andreev Foundation firmly believe that a small donation does not exist. Every donation is important. It not only contributes to the financial part of the charity campaign, but also shows your support for the cause, which is no less valuable.
Financial donations make a HUGE difference to lives in animal charities. Donating money organised through the PavelAndreev.ORG website is quick, easy and allows beneficiaries to use the money where it is needed most.

Animal shelters need food, bedding and other supplies. Many of their residents need veterinary care and funds to recover afterwards. Donation drives help provide for the needs of abandoned animals until a suitable home can be found for them.

But if you can't donate money, don't despair - there are other ways you can help! And they're not few at all, and no less valuable in the meantime, for example:
Volunteering your time at a local shelter or rescue group is one of the most valuable ways to help. Most shelters depend on volunteers to provide the necessary care for the animals. Here are a few examples of things you can do to improve the lives of shelter animals:
Donations don't have to be just monetary. Check with your local shelter to find out what types of material assistance they need.

Money raised from donors after posting the cause on our donation site can buy all sorts of things to improve the lives of shelter residents. A toy, for example, can help lift a dog's spirit and make animals feel loved. Be sure to donate toys that are safe and approved for dogs.
Dogs also need soft places to sleep, so blankets, sheets and pillowcases help to warm shelters and make animals feel safe. In addition to financial assistance, consider donating your old blankets, towels, bedspreads or other fabric items.
Shelters need lots of food to feed all those hungry animals! Check with the shelter to find out what types of food they can use. If you organize a fundraiser to feed homeless animals, you will help keep them from going hungry. Campaigns posted on the Pavel Andreev platform allow fundraising to continue indefinitely.

Shelters need a lot of cleaning materials to maintain sanitary facilities. Money raised through charity campaigns could be used for such a purpose.
Here you can take a look at What are the conditions for starting a campaign? and our help centre.
Helping homeless dogs and cats through our donation site is extremely easy. Setting up a campaign will only take a few minutes. The platform has a proven track record, so you're sure to find supporters for your cause as quickly as possible.
Providing shelter for homeless animals like stray dogs sounds like a positive solution to this social problem. Unfortunately, animals can't speak up and fight for themselves. This sad truth brings us to the concept of animal welfare, which would protect animals from unethical experimentation, exploitation in entertainment and food production. Animal advocates and pet lovers consider animal welfare to be equivalent to the human privilege of the right to life.
We at Pavel Andreev support these views. We make it possible for our donation site to be used to promote such stories. And the social sharing options of your campaign will help spread your mission even faster. If there's a stray animal or group of animals you'd like to help but don't have enough time to do it yourself, feel free to start a charity campaign.
