Pay It Furward

There are literally millions of pets waiting to find a forever home. But, your house clearly can’t hold even a hundred dogs or cats. So what’s a cool person to do? Pay it forward. If you can’t take in another pet, help someone who can. Tell a friend you’ll cover the adoption fee or initial vet bill. Visit your closest animal shelter and write a check for the next person who wishes to take home an older furry friend. Or, dream bigger: if everyone in the office kicked in $1, you could cover an adoption fee in no time.

PUTTING IT INTO ACTION: Forward this article to a friend. For every person who signs up for the 5 Minutes of Caring email today, we’ll donate $1 to our local shelter.
