Yes. I do work for some dog rescues when I have some free time.

A lot of the smaller rescues get ripped off by IT/WSP providers who see them as
easy marks. A lot of dog rescues still have static web sites but could really
use a simple to use CMS. Another friend who is non technical is getting involved
in re-branding rescue web sites in order to build up a portfolio of design work.
Even somethign as simple as configuring email and doing a bit of smartphone
shortcut training/config can help so much.
