Amanda is a well-known journalist and a golf pundit. Apart from that, the 39-year-old extends her hands to help out dogs and puppies who need help. While conducting her interviews, she can often be spotted with her furry friends.

For the past four years, her NGO, Puppies and Golf has helped rescued dogs find their forever homes. Balionis founded the company and she is the President. She also uses her Instagram account to create social awareness about foster homes and animal rescue centers.

It helps out former soldiers who suffer from MST, PTSD, and any kind of trauma received during their service days. Amanda and her NGO sponsored that event.

P&G connects with other dog rescue homes and pet products. Apart from that, it often holds fundraising events for noble causes. As they are stepping into their fourth anniversary, Amanda Balionis and her NGO have started a fundraiser. With a target of $40,000 in donations, Puppies and Golf aims to use those funds to help other dogs.
