Friendly Beasts, Day 17: The Animal Rescue Site


http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com

Still working on last minute gifts for the holidays?  Why not consider The Animal Rescue Site as a one stop shop for the perfect gift and do some good with your purchases at the same time?

As a partner of Petfinder.com, a great resource for finding a specific breed of rescue animal if you're looking for a particular type of pet, The Animal Rescue site also provides "free" ways to help sponsor animals simply by clicking a link or sending an e-card to a friend.  By generating lots of traffic to their site to view the advertisers and supporters listed, The Animal Rescue Site provides food to rescue groups and sanctuaries, and are distributed by a number of animal welfare groups.  In the first year of operation, ten million meals were provided for animals in care of rescue groups.

You can also visit links on the site for information regarding how and where the funds are being distributed, to be sure that every click you take is being used to your satisfaction.

Shoppers at the site can help even more, as more of a portion of the funds spent goes toward the feeding fund, separate from the sponsors donations for your clicks.  I bought those great insulated shopping bags pictured above in a previous design version from this site a few months ago (the colors are lighter on mine, on a white background), and I have people stopping me to ask about them ALL THE TIME...they are wonderful for toting things home from the grocery store.

Check out what they have to offer at their Web site above, on Twitter (@TheAnimalRescue) or on Facebook at "The Animal Rescue Site".
