The Search Dog Foundation, Charity of the Day

Filed under: Pets, Charity, Charity of the Day

The Search Dog Foundation (SDF) produces the nation's most highly trained search and rescue dogs. In times of natural disaster or terrorist attacks, chances are the dogs that will be coming to our aid will be graduates of this amazing organization. Training for each dog runs around $10,000, takes up to a year and requires extensive one-on-one time. The dogs that train at SDF are from shelters, which makes me love this organization that much more. SDF receives no government funding, and relies on the generosity of the public to keep the whole thing running!

Animals Asia Foundation, Charity of the Day

Filed under: Charity, Charity of the Day

Natural disasters affect everything in their path, during the San Diego wildfires the news kept rolling footage of deer and other wild life running for their lives to escape the flames; talk about depressing. The recent earthquake in China has left many animals displaced and abandoned, not by choice but due to their owners having to flee rapidly. Animals Asia is a Hong Kong based charity determined to helping both animals and their owners during this time of need. Survivors in Sichuan's earthquake-hit region are lining up to hand over their dogs to Animals Asia for safe-keeping until they are back on their feet, while in the shelter the animals will receive medical care if injured and vaccinations to help prevent the spreading of disease. If you would like to help Animals Asia they could really use the extra donations right now!

The Animal Rescue Site, Charity of the Day

The Animal Rescue Site has harnessed the immense power of the Internet and put it to use for a good cause. The site features a button that visitors can click as many times as they want to provide much needed food to the millions of animals in shelters across the US. The food is payed for by sponsors that advertise on the site, and it's distributed by volunteers. So, next time you're bored at work... click away! Like most charities The Animal Rescue Site has an online gift store, except this one is more like and online gift mall, I was blown away by how much cool stuff they have (jewelry, cute clothing, home and garden supplies and pet accessories and much more), I put the shopping link in my favorites, I will definitely check back next time I'm buying a gift! If you're going to be shopping online it feels good to know you aren't just fueling the mass consumerism lifestyle, when a portion of the money goes to a good cause it makes shopping so much more enjoyable! Plus I can justify spending more knowing the proceeds go to animals!
