Help Give Free Kibble To Needy Dogs
Horst Hoefinger

Want to help out some needy dogs but don’t really have the time? Well here’s an easy way to contribute to the well being of our canine friends that will take less than a minute .

Just visit http://www.freekibble.com, answer the daily Bow Wow Trivia question and 20 pieces of kibble are automatically donated to an animal shelter. Don’t worry, if you’re trivia challenged like me, you don’t even have to get the answer right in order for your donation to count.

It’s a great idea that surely came from a grizzly veteran of the online wars, right? Wrong. This idea was created by an eleven year-old girl, Mimi Ausland, from Oregon who modeled the site after http://www.freerice.com that donates rice to the UN World Food Program. What a smart, compassionate young lady!

So please, click on the link and help a dog in need today. While you’re at it, give some love to the kitties too at http://www.freekibblekat.com.

Thanks for helping out some needy pups and kitties, and making a little girl’s dream of helping our fuzzy friends come true.

Help Stop Puppy Mills
Horst Hoefinger

Here’s a heartwarming video by the Humane Society on their recent efforts to save hundreds of puppies from a mill in Tennessee.

The rescue operation cost $105,000, and they desperately need help to pay for this work and prepare for the next time animals need our help.  If you have the means, please visit their site and think about donating to this worthy cause.

Thanks to Randi Sachs for bringing our attention to this.
