Today, shelter pets will take over Facebook for the fourth year in a row! Help celebrate and spread the word about pet adoption. People are three times more likely to go to a shelter or rescue group if they have talked to someone else who has. Be that someone!

All you have to do is post a photo and story about your adopted pet to your Facebook profile today. Be sure to tag the Shelter Pet Project, and use hashtag #CelebrateShelterPets. And feel free to share your post to our wall so we can celebrate together since Daisy is an adopted shelter pet, too!

Most of my blog posts are about how to save money on stuff you need for your pets, family and home.  Well, here’s a real bargain: Help save a life for LESS than $1 per day when you donate to ASPCA!

For over 140 years, the ASPCA has worked tirelessly to end animal cruelty. From education and care to adoption and rescue, the ASPCA is making a life-changing difference for animals across America.

Your $25 donation will mean so much to the animals right in your community. Thank you for making the ASPCA and the animals they serve a part of your life.

Daisy was a shelter dog, so causes like this one are near and dear to my heart. Help support rescue groups with the click of your mouse! For each new LIKE they receive by June 30th, Natural Balance Pet Foods will donate 1 lb of food as part of their Feed the Need initiative.

Visit Facebook.com/NaturalBalanceFan and LIKE their page to start helping!

Up to 15,000 lbs of food will be donated to two Los Angeles area rescues:

I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue (Into Canine Adoption, Rehabilitation and Education) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, all breed, no kill dog rescue. They rescue dogs at risk of being euthanized from shelters as well as abandoned, abused, and stray dogs. They also rescue many owner surrendered dogs; dogs that can no longer remain in their current homes due to financial or personal issues. They are a 100% volunteer run and supported organization.

Operation Blankets of Love is an award-winning non-profit 501(c)3 public charity that collects, transports and distributes recycled and new pet-related items to comfort stray, sick, neglected and abused homeless animals in shelters, rescue groups, sanctuaries and foster groups.
