What Bryndian said. Good show Dualman.
Another thing you can do if you have the time is participate in rescue transportation. Most rescue organizations have networks of people that will transport the dogs from the site of rescue to the site of the foster parents. It usually is a relay, where you drive the dog 4-5 hours and then meeting up with the next person in the chain. It's not a big commitment, but you're really doing a LOT to get the dog into good hands. When I rescue-relay I usually have the previous guy take the dog to my place, where he spends the night chilling with my herd of bassets, then I drive him on the next day. One or two of my bassets usually come along for the ride to keep the rescue dog company.
And like Bryndian said, the humane society is ALWAYS looking for volunteers who can help them care for and place their animals. There's nothing like getting an abused dog healthy again and then finding it a good home where you know it'll live out its life in comfort and happiness.
