If you know me, you know I have a soft spot for all animals! The other day I came across an article on Mashable that caught my eye: Pedigree Donates Dog Food for Blog Posts. For each blog post about Pedigree’s adoption program, Pedigree will donate 20lbs of food to help feed animal shelter dogs as part of their genius, “Write a Post, Help a Dog” campaign. Their mission is to help “shelter dogs” become just regular “dogs” through their adoption program which makes it easy for those looking for a pup to find their perfect match.

Not only does Pedigree help shelter dogs find permanent homes with their adoption program, they are also dedicated to ensuring those dogs in the shelters are well nourished. In addition to their current blog campaign, just for “Liking” Pedigree on Facebook, they promise to donate a bowl of dog food and for each bag of Pedigree dog food purchased, a donation is made to help animals find homes.

Pedigree isn’t the only company dedicated to helping dogs… I recently learned about Freaky Dog People; a community established by self-proclaimed “freaky dog people”, Ted & Leanne that’s dedicated to everything dog-related. Sharing their passion of dogs, their mission is to spread awareness and raise money for animal rescue organizations and shelters.

For each item of Freaky Dog People merchandise sold, a portion of the profit is donated to dog rescue organizations and shelters to give back to those who dedicate their lives to helping improve the lives of dogs. Make sure to check out their cute line of clothing (for dog lovers, not dogs) and “Like” their Facebook page to connect and learn about their upcoming events!

If you are looking to bring home a new dog, make sure to save a life and adopt from a shelter! If you can’t bring one home yourself, help to spread the word and show your support.
