Anyone who knows me is aware that I have a huge thing for dogs. We always had dogs as pets when I was growing up, and I just recently adopted my own from the Humane Society of Western Montana. I stumbled upon my newfound favorite dog charity while familiarizing myself with Twitter, yet another social media force that I’m experimenting with. Stray from the Heart, a non-profit dog rescue organization based out of New York, has the basic dog rescue opportunities–donate, volunteer, adopt–but they enhance their cause with virtual adoptions. As a virtual adopter, you can choose your pet and donate a specified amount for that animal. I won’t over analyze here, but take a look and see for yourself. It’s an amazing opportunity for those like me who can’t even volunteer without bringing one home.
