1. Volunteer at an animal shelter. Help clean up, play with the animals, or do whatever's needed to make the shelter a nicer "temporary" home for the animals.

3. Control animal populations.
4. Find out about raising a dog for persons with disabilities.
5. Raise money for pet causes by organizing a pet photo session.
