Want to help out with your local animal rescue group or shelter but don’t know how? Maybe your lifestyle doesn’t allow you to foster a pet. Maybe your work schedule or family obligations prevent you from helping at an adoption day. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t help local homeless animals in other ways. Take a look at these YouTube videos which aim to raise awareness about Black Dog Syndrome, get attention for a Retriever rescue group and (in a wonderfully humorous and touching way) counter breed discrimination.


If you have the time and just a little bit of know-how, here is your chance to unleash your inner Frances Ford Coppola. Consider creating a YouTube video which your local rescue or shelter can use can on their website, send to supporters, include in their fundraising appeals, link on their Facebook or MySpace page and yes, post on YouTube for extra exposure. You’ll be reaching a huge online audience that may include potential adopters, new foster families, volunteers and donors. So contact your local rescue group, break out the laptop and get ready for “two paws up” from the homeless animals who you’ll be helping!
