It’s Wish Wednesday With The Lubbock Animal Shelter

I saw this for the first time last week, and I got very excited.

Animal charities are my thing. Like a lot of you, I want to make sure my money actually helps animals in a real way right here in Lubbock. It’s even better when you can do something that feels personal—something that feels like you.

Now add this in: a lot of us would love to have more pets… but can’t. I’ve got a perfect balance right now—three dogs and one outdoor cat—and I’m not about to upset that harmony. Maybe you’re in the same boat. Maybe you’ve got a hole in the fence, a landlord that says “no pets,” or just life logistics that get in the way.

That’s where “Wish Wednesday” with Lubbock Animal Services comes in.

A Simple Way to Make a Real Impact

It works just like those Amazon wish lists teachers put out at the start of the school year. You hop on, pick something the shelter actually needs, order it, and it gets sent straight to them.

And the list isn’t fluff—it’s practical, real-world stuff:

• Collars
• Leashes
• Cleaning supplies
• Everyday care items

In other words, the things that actually keep animals safe, clean, and adoptable.

I went with a set of “Adopt Me” leashes and even got a little shoutout for it—which, I’m not gonna lie, felt pretty great.

Shop Smart, Help Local, Win Twice

Here’s one more angle if you want to take it up a notch:

Check out what Lubbock Animal Services needs online, then swing by a locally owned pet shop like Pets Plus or Walters World and grab those items there.

Now you’re:

• Helping animals
• Supporting local business

That’s a double win.

No matter how you do it, having a clear list of needs makes it so much easier for people who want to help—but just don’t know where to start.

And if you’re like me?
This is one of those rare opportunities where doing something small still feels like doing something big.
