How to Get Involved This Random Acts of Kindness Day Posted on February 16, 2024 This year, Random Acts of Kindness Day falls on Saturday, 17 February, making now the perfect time to get involved and spread the gift of joy. Today, we celebrate more than just moments that make us smile; we celebrate the spirit of compassion that changes and brightens the lives of those around us. In honour of Random Acts of Kindness Day, join us in exploring the profound impact of simple gestures within the realms of animal welfare. Indeed, today marks the perfect opportunity to create a ripple effect of compassion that extends beyond our shelter’s walls. Every act of kindness contributes to a brighter and more hopeful future for our beloved animals. For those who may not be able to commit to adopting a companion animal, we have so many great initiatives for anyone interested in making a positive impact. Make a Difference in Animals’ Lives by Becoming a Volunteer! We wouldn’t be able to make the same impact without the support of our incredible volunteers. By joining our team of passionate animal welfare advocates, you can choose to help as much as you like, in whatever way works best for you! Roles include: Photography Dog walking Reading to animals Transport drivers Groundskeepers and gardening gurus and MANY MORE!
