The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) have gift programs that start as low as $19 a month to help an animal in need.
- Walk a dog – Offer to be available if you know someone in your neighborhood who needs a little help to walk their dog. Older adults appreciate assistance in bad weather so their dog has a chance to get outside to do their business.

Everyone benefits including doglovers who no longer have a dog and now have a chance to be with someone else’s dog.
