You just can’t stop Dogsters from doing good! Dogster Reesee barked in to invite everypup and kitten to join in the Do Good Doggy Day this month. Note, please post your entries at PawSpot.

Every day, Dogsters are making us all proud as they make the world better in all kinds of ways. Many Dogster and Catster groups work hard to help other pups and kittens. Doggie Do Gooders is one of these marvelous groups.

Gibbon and his furmom Jazmine barked in to share a sweet story of a Dogster who gave what she could to help dogs she had never met.

Gibbon and Jazmine wrote:
Hi Joy! As you have previously blogged here, Doggie Do Gooders is a special group that helps one rescue at a time by nominating, voting for and then donating to one special animal organization every month. For January, the pick of the month was Amazing Aussies, a shelter that saves Lethal White Australian Shepherds and matching them with new forever families while raising awareness to eradicate Merle-to-Merle breeding through educational programs. Them name “Lethal White” in reference to Aussies stems from the fact that these white pups have historically been destroyed at birth because of the likelihood they may be blind, deaf or both.
