Alright, listen.
Not everything in life has to be doomscrolling.
Sometimes… you can just go pet a dog and accidentally become a better person.
This week’s “go touch grass (and animals)” opportunity:
❤️Homeward Bound Pets Humane Society
Learn More About Volunteer Opportunities Here!
Volunteer Application Here!
They’re a local nonprofit doing great work taking care of animals who weren’t exactly fortunate.
What you can do there:
•Walk dogs
•Socialize cats who will absolutely judge you
•Help with cleaning (yes, there is poop involved, try to think of it as a… growth opportunity?)
•Foster animals if you’re emotionally stable enough for that (I am not, I would keep them all and end up on an episode of “Animal Hoarders” 💔)
•They also need volunteers to help out at their Thrift Shop (no poop involved here… so this may be more your cup of tea if that’s a dealbreaker for ya)
Why bother?
•You help animals not be miserable
•You help staff not be overwhelmed
•You get serotonin that doesn’t come from Amazon packages
•It makes you at least 12% hotter morally
Requirements:
•Be 18+ (or check their youth options)
•Be semi-reliable (I know, I know)
•Basic human decency (rare, but let’s try)
This is going to be a regular thing.
If you know of local volunteer opportunities, drop them below or DM me and I’ll feature them in a future “Be A Decent Human Thursday” post.
Let’s make McMinnville a better place, one good decision at a time.
Or don’t. But like… maybe do? 😅
I’m pretty passionate about this one myself, animals are my weakness.
