    7 Ways to Volunteer with Your Pet

    While many of us try to volunteer throughout the year, the holiday season is often a time when people are feeling extra thankful and increase their efforts to do good things for others. Being able to volunteer with your pet is an added bonus. It's rewarding for you and your furry friend, as well as for the recipient of your kindness. There are lots of ways you can involve your pet in volunteering, from pet therapy to search and rescue. But before bringing your pet anywhere, check with the organization where you would like to volunteer. Some perfectly lovely pets do not necessarily make great volunteer animals. This is why most places have screening and training requirements. After you and your furry friend are cleared, you're ready to give back! Click through for 7 ways to volunteer with your pet! - By Amy Fleck

      Have your Pet Participate in Therapeutic Visitation
      Your pet can offer much-needed social interaction and company in places like hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers. Both adults and children can benefit from the stress reduction that comes from a visit from a friendly, cuddly pet.
