Craving Some Fuzzy Love Without the Long-term Commitment?
Say "cluck you" to euthanasia. Moo-ve your butt and volunteer at a farm sanctuary - a safe haven where homeless animals are protected and treated like the good, earthly neigh-bors they are.
The Benefits
• It's good for you. We already know that being around animals helps us live longer, and helping out at a farm for a day can be kinda fun, anyway.
• Saving lives. Farm sanctuaries take in animals - such as retired racehorses, former lab rabbits, and livestock too sick to be sold for meat - and care for them (thanks to dedicated volunteers...like, maybe, you).
• Something for the resume. Employers and college admissions boards take into account the fact that you're helping out in the community.
• Picking favorites. Many farm sanctuaries specialize in certain animals, such as ducks, horses, and rabbits - so you can work with your faves.
When Jen lived in Ireland, a nearby farm sanctuary was flush with donkeys because they live up to 40 years and often outlive their owners.
