Be Kind to Animals Week

The American Humane Association created Be Kind to Animals Week in 1915 to encourage compassion toward animals.  Every year, animal shelters throughout the country hold special events during this time-honored week to raise awareness about animals in the community and to celebrate the unique bond between humans and animals.

In honor of Be Kind to Animals Week, Concord-Merrimack County SPCA suggests the following ways of showing appreciation to the animals around us:

• Report animal abuse or neglect
• Adopt a new pet at the shelter
• Speak out on the importance of respecting animals
• Spay or neuter your pets and encourage family and friends to do the same
• Drive carefully through areas populated with wild animals such as deer
• Plant a butterfly or hummingbird garden in your back yard
• Donate to or volunteer at your local animal shelter

• Calendar
