Children are our future.
We’ve all heard Whitney Houston singing “The Greatest Love of All,” written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed, in which she reminds us that the “children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way.”
No matter who sings it, though, the message of children being our future is obvious but important to remember. That philosophy isn’t lost on the Aiken SPCA, which is best known for rescuing and adopting homeless pets, its spay-and-neuter clinic and its busy thrift store in downtown Aiken; however, investing in the community’s children is every bit as important to the group.
The SPCA works hard at the shelter to bring around shy or formerly abused dogs. The shelter can get rid them of fleas, have heartworms treated, put weight on a skinny dog and other things to make pets more adoptable and quicker to adjust into a new home. Low-cost spaying and neutering are provided to pet owners to help reduce the pet overpopulation problem in the area.
While these things are important and worthwhile, at the end of the day, the shelter still needs great people to adopt, volunteer, donate, take the initiative to have their pets spayed and treat animals in their homes with respect and love, which will be returned without conditions.
How does the SPCA try to make this happen? It looks to the children. They are more open to new ideas and taking in new information. Teaching kids about how to safely approach a dog they don’t know and to make sure their family dog doesn’t spend its life at the end of a chain are just a couple of examples of what is share with them.
