15. Another great thing folks do is volunteer to take a dog out for a walk.

I was at a shelter in Akron, Ohio, adopting a dog and met a high school friend who showed up every day at this shelter to take a dog out for a walk. They had a program for just that - it was the humane society. Great guy! - and it puts a smile in those dogs that carries them over.

If you have time go to your local shelter and volunteer to take a dog for a walk once in awhile. It's easy and they'll love you for it.
