Making New Year’s resolutions dates back some 4,000 years when Babylonians made promises to the gods. Today we’re beholden not to the gods but to ourselves. We promise ourselves to “do better this year”. To lose weight, exercise more, eat healthier, earn more, volunteer more. You know the drill. This morning, in my way-more-crowded-than-normal yoga […]

Love animals? Looking for somewhere to volunteer? Alive Rescue, a no-kill shelter originally in Lakeview but about to open a new larger facility in the West Loop, has saved over 900 animals since it opened in 2008. It's a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with an amazing group of volunteers.

Many of the dogs saved have special needs. Some are seniors. Others have serious health issues. Alive gets them as healthy as possible and finds fosters, then hopefully, loving homes for them. I've been volunteering there for 5 years and currently head up the Reach Out Program where we take our pups to visit at assisted living facilities. And I consider myself blessed to take part with my Alive rescue and BFF, Charley.

Thank you, Alive Rescue!

If you're not into volunteering but want to donate to a worthy organization, please consider Alive Rescue. We have all kinds of sponsorship opportunities. There are many more animals waiting to be saved.
