National Pet Month!

Wow! I just heard about this - National Pet Month - a whole month of pet holiday. Life is so good. I did a little reading up on it and there is also a contingency that calls it National Pet Week. Well, shoot, I vote for the whole month.I also came up with a plan to celebrate. A beautiful friend, Jane, from Arizona, sent me a really neat site about some really great guys in Seattle. Read on…

July 15, 2004 - This Web Site has Gone to the Dogs (and Cats) : The Animal Rescue Site Celebrates Two Years of Feeding Animals in Need

SEATTLE - The Animal Rescue Site (www.theanimalrescuesite.com), a website committed to serving animals in pet adoption centers across the country, is celebrating its second anniversary, over which time it has helped supply over 50 million bowls of food to shelter animals in need.

Founded in July 2002 by lifelong social activists Tim Kunin and Greg Hesterberg, The Animal Rescue Site is poised to make an ongoing impact on the conditions of animal adoption centers around the United States. Made possible by site visitors who click a button to Feed an Animal in Need and the sponsors who pay to advertise on The Animal Rescue Site, charity partners see a direct effect on their bottom line. Charity partners that include The Fund for Animals (www.fundforanimals.org) and North Shore Animal League America (www.nsalamerica.org) are the direct beneficiaries of the donations made by daily clicks to the home page of The Animal Rescue Site.

So, here’s my plan: I put the www.theanimalrescuesite.com in my favorties. I go there every morning when I get up early and play games until my foggy eyes are clear enough to surf and write and whatever else I might be up to on any given day. That way, I won’t forget to click on the site and feed some more friends. I love it! No thumb needed and I can really do something to help.

It is amazing how this works (I love these guys!):

In 2006, visitor clicks funded 29,723,714 bowls of food for animals sheltering in sanctuaries. Please click daily and tell your friends, family and colleagues about The Animal Rescue Site, too!

Visitors who shopped at The Animal Rescue Site store funded an additional 3,804,686 bowls of food! All in all, in 2006, your caring actions at The Animal Site funded 33,528,399 bowls of food for animals in need!

My advice for today: Feed the Kitty!
