This month Be the Change for Animals is spreading the message about April being National Volunteer Month “a time to celebrate ordinary people doing extraordinary things to improve communities, by highlighting some of the wonderful volunteers who help animal shelters, rescue groups and other animal-related charities Be the Change for Animals!”
In honor of April being National Volunteer Month “Celebrating People in Action” I would like to celebrate author C.A. Wulff and share the valuable resource that she has written, called How to Change the World in 30 Seconds, A Web Warrior’s Guide to Animal Advocacy Online.
From How to Change the World in 30 Seconds: this book is dedicated to all of the individuals and groups who devote their heads, hands and hearts to improving the world for companion animals. You are all, every one of you, my heroes.
There are many of us who want to help animals but often we are overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin. Often we think it takes a lot of time, money and other resources that we don’t think that we have. But we DO! We ALL can make a difference for even one animal and this book shows us how. It offers practical steps to get started and uses dog advocacy as the focus. It explains in just THIRTY SECONDS a DAY on the Internet we can begin to make a difference in the lives of animals and can also help to “change the world!”
Did you know?
That it was the loss of a special dog that led famed anthropologist Jane Goodall to Africa to study chimpanzees? (Neither did I! I learned this in How to Change the World in 30 Seconds). Ms. Goodall said:
“I learned everything I know about animals in general from the dog I had as a child. He taught me that animals have personalities and minds and feelings and what a true friend was. I never would have been able to go to Africa if Rusty hadn’t died, because I would never have been able to leave him.”
In this book you will learn that JUST BY ADVOCATING ONE DOG who ends up being saved, that dog changes three things
YOU
the dog
the people who have him now
That dog could go on to become a service dog helping a handicapped person, maybe he will become a search and rescue dog. The more dogs (and other animals we help save) the more a ripple effect is caused.
How to Change the World in 30 Seconds explains ALL of the useful resources that are at our fingertips each and every day that we can use to save animals! Just a few of the MANY resources cited in this valuable guide are:
Freekibble– a website that donates food to shelter animals just by answering a daily trivia question.
The Animal Rescue Site which offers a big purple button on their home page that says “Click here to give, it’s FREE!” and when you click on that button the site sponsors will donate food and care to animals living in shelters and sanctuaries.
Petfinder where 13,969 U.S. shelters and rescues list the animals they have available for adoption.
In this book you will learn about how you can help animals through using Twitter, Facebook, and a bevy of other resources. You will learn about various animal rescue groups, pet transport pages/sites, you will have enough resources at YOUR FINGERTIPS to help YOU “volunteer’ FROM YOUR OWN HOME!
How to Change the World in 30 Seconds will also teach you how YOU can make a difference by heading out into the community and being one of millions of volunteers who champion various animal causes in a variety of ways.
Rescue Groups always need people to:
- answer phones
- collect donations
- place containers for pet food drives
- manning booths at adoption events
- creating signage
- showing animals at adoption events
- fostering animals
- donate newspapers, towels, food, medical supplies
the list goes on and on!
By reading How to Change the World in 30 Seconds you will learn that YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the life of an animal in ways that you never dreamed were possible!
