NAPPS Helps Animal Shelters Across the USA

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- With the holidays approaching, our thoughts often run to our loved ones family members and family pets as we scurry to and fro to gather presents, but, have you ever thought about the precious pets in America's animal shelters that have been rescued and have no homes? The National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) in partnership with the United States Humane Society (HSUS) is helping rescued pets in shelters across America by sponsoring the Presents 4 Pets Program. Candance Labane-Godfrey, President of NAPPS and one ofCalifornia's leading pet advocates says "The Presents for Pets Program will run through the first week of November in conjunction with the HSUS annual National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week. It is an opportunity for those who are concerned about rescued animals to show their support and fill a need by contributing blankets, towels, rugs, pet beds, bleach, toys, leashes, coupons and toys to their local animal shelter or rescue organization". Call your local NAPPS pet sitter or visit http://www.petsitters.org to find out how to arrange a pickup of donated items at your location.

NAPPS also would like to remind pet parents to refer to important tips on hiring a pet sitter and locating a pet sitter near you at http://www.petsitters.org.

Here are some questions you should be prepared to ask a prospective pet sitter:

1. Does the pet sitter have the proper insurance coverage and offer documentation?

2. Is the pet sitter a member of a larger professional trade organization such as NAPPS which provides tools and resources to promote professional pet sitting in the US including certification.

Visit the NAPPS website http://www.petsitters.org for more information on both Presents for Pets and suggestions as to how to find the right pet sitter in your town.
