One of my favorite shows on t.v. is this series called\u00a0Pitbulls and Parolees<\/em><\/a>\u00a0on Animal Planet. The show is about Tia Torres, a truly amazing individual who runs the\u00a0Villalobos Rescue Center<\/a>\u00a0together with her two daughters, Tania and Mariah.<\/p>\n

It is amazing how much adversity they have faced, and yet they are still very committed, and do their absolute best to give both dogs and people a second chance.<\/p>\n

Many of us love dogs very much, but may not have a lot of funds to donate to a dog rescue or shelter. Times are tough, and many of us are struggling and working hard, just to keep things afloat. Even so, heroes like Tia show us that there is much that we can do to help dogs who are in need, and to help promote responsible\u00a0dog ownership<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 easy ways to help dogs without leaving our home. It will not cost us any extra money, and will not involve very much effort. All we need is our trusty computer, and reliable online access.<\/p>\n

Help Dogs 1 – Amazon Shopping<\/h2>\n

Nowadays, I get many of my household items from Amazon including cooking utensils, toothpaste, canned goods, as well as dog supplies such as dog toys, and dog food. All this amounts to a sizable Amazon bill every month.<\/p>\n

How can my Amazon purchases help dogs?<\/em><\/p>\n

It turns out that many dog rescues and shelters have their own Amazon store, or Amazon ads on their website. If we visit Amazon through our favorite dog rescue site, they will get a commission for any purchases we make.\u00a0Note<\/strong>\u00a0– it does not matter if we buy from their store or not, as long as we visit Amazon from their storefront or website ad.<\/p>\n

In this way, we easily make a contribution to them through our regular online shopping. The amount we pay to Amazon will be the same. The only difference is that when we go to Amazon directly, then Amazon gets to pocket the commission.<\/p>\n
