Unfortunately, most of us are already full up with pets or limited by space and time. But there\u2019s a way to make a big difference without breaking the bank or building a barnyard.<\/p>\n<p>Treat Buckets and Big Hearts<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"503\" data-end=\"834\">The Haven Animal Shelter is hosting Trick or Treat for the Animals this Saturday, and it\u2019s a brilliant idea. Each animal pen has its own \u201ctrick or treat\u201d bucket \u2014 and visitors can drop in treats, toys, or supplies to help out. It\u2019s a creative, feel-good way to lend a hand, especially if you can\u2019t adopt or volunteer regularly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"1035\">Pets need humans just as much as humans need pets. By dropping off a few goodies, you help The Haven offset expenses, ease some of the financial strain, and keep the animals engaged and socialized.<\/p>\n<p>A Win for You and Them This Saturday At The Haven<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1331\">The Haven has many adoptable dogs and cats, plus a few permanent residents who will live out their days in care \u2014 and all of them would love the attention. You\u2019ll leave with that warm, fuzzy feeling that comes from helping creatures who give love unconditionally.<\/p>\n<p>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kfmx.com\/lubbock-tortilla-toss-banned\/?utm_source=tsmclip&amp;utm_medium=referral\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Will Texas Tech Fans Keep Tossing Tortillas At Home Games?<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1333\" data-end=\"1448\">\ud83d\udccd The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday at The Haven, 4501 FM 1729, just off the Idalou Highway.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Never Grow Up: A Peek At Lubbock&#8217;s New Toy R Us Location <\/p>\n<p>Lubbock is home to a new Toys &#8216;R Us pop-up inside South Plains Mall <\/p>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Renee Raven<\/p>\n<p>Tumbleweed Botanicals Is Lubbock&#8217;s Most Magical Shopping Experience<\/p>\n<p>Take a peek at the magical shopping experience that is Lubbock&#8217;s new location of Tumbleweed Botanicals, located at 2319 34th St. <\/p>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Renee Raven<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This Saturday you can help some animals without taking one home.
