Virtual Volunteering

This past winter, I sponsored dogs at Best Friends Animal Society as Christmas presents for my family. Best Friends is featured on the National Geographic Channel show, Dogtown, on Friday nights. (They’re actually responsible for rescuing many of the Michael Vick pit bulls.) Ever since my donation, I’ve been getting their bimonthly magazine, and I saw this article in their latest issue on virtual volunteering.

I don’t know about you, but especially living in a city, I don’t have the space or resources to adopt another dog. But the article talks about how you can volunteer your time to help animals in need with just a few clicks. It discusses the power of virtual networking as well as the emotional benefits of volunteering. Check it out if you have a chance!
