North Texas Giving Day is an annual event that unites communities across the region in support of nonprofit organizations dedicated to making a positive impact. For the second year in a row, we're proud to raise funds to support the shelter enrichment program at .FWACC (Fort Worth Animal Care & Control).
Shelter enrichment is a fundamental aspect of an animal's experience in the shelter environment, especially in busy facilities like FWACC. It recognizes that physical comfort and mental stimulation are as vital as food and shelter. By supporting this initiative on North Texas Giving Day 2023, donors will play an instrumental role in ensuring that Cowtown Friends can continue to help FWACC engage in this vital program. The result will be happier, healthier animals who are more likely to find their forever homes, reflecting a community that cares deeply about the welfare of its furry friends. Your generous donations will ensure that the shelter enrichment program at FWACC remains well-stocked with essential items. These items include KONGs, Benebones, dog treats, treat-dispensing toys, catnip, cat toys, out-and-about bandanas and leashes, and any additional supplies requested by shelter staff. By supporting this initiative on North Texas Giving Day 2023, you'll play a pivotal role in enabling Cowtown Friends to continue their vital work in partnership with FWACC.
Benefits of Shelter Enrichment
Reduced Stress: Enrichment activities engage animals in natural behaviors and problem-solving, helping to alleviate the stress of being in a shelter environment. Improved Well-Being: Shelter enrichment contributes to both the physical and mental well-being of shelter animals. It provides them with a sense of normalcy and comfort during their stay. Increased Adoptability: Enrichment programs help reduce undesirable behaviors in shelter animals, making them more appealing to potential adopters. Animals that are happy and content are more likely to find their forever homes.
The Shelter Enrichment program at FWACC represents a holistic approach to animal welfare, made possible by your generous donations in previous years. We hope to continue supporting this vital program next year and beyond. As we celebrate North Texas Giving Day, let's come together as a community that cares deeply about the welfare of our furry friends. Your support makes a tangible difference in the lives of shelter animals, enhancing their well-being and increasing their chances of finding loving homes. Join us in making a meaningful impact on North Texas Giving Day by donating to Cowtown Friends and supporting the shelter enrichment program at FWACC. Together, we can create a brighter future for these animals in need.
