B ~~This is a great idea. You’re so creative to come up with this concept. I love it when you can do two things @ once. Here you are ~~ raising money and raising consciousness!

You might reference this site on Twitter, mentioning that you’re updating it or some such comment. Lots of animal lovers on Twitter….

In January 2000 I shall make a donation to the Edmonton SPCA in the amount of $20.00. Thanks. Hopefully we can raise more in the new year!

Well as of Sept 30 it is $1.87, hardly enough to donate.. so I will allow it to accumulate for another month. Keep spreading it if you want to help.

I’m a pet (dog) rescuer. Soon I will be getting my 3rd. I would NEVER buy from a pet store and I wish they could be outlawed, them and back yard breeders. My first dog was a purebred and I loved him it broke my heart when he died suddenly of CHF at the age of 12. A few years later I rescued an American Eskimo who was with me over 11 years and his life was ended horribly by 3 pit bulls. I have been fostering a little old lady for the past 18 mths. The joy I experienced in seeing them develop into happy playful loveable dogs is not easily explained.

I will definitely rescue my next dog!!!!!!

2 point to make.. we are up to 70 cents!!!

and about pet stores, I respond mainly to MRA,
Its tough but if people would refuse to buy the stores would sell the pups cheap- so cheap that they would not make any money and therefore be forced to stop doing it.
yes its tough but "leave them there" is what we must do in order to end the suffering of millions in cages kept only for breeding purposes over and over and over.
Thanks to everyone who is sharing this link.. every hit helps!

The solution to puppy mills should be obvious. If pet stores would only make ethical deals with shelters the mills would be out of business. Is it the cost, shots, spaying and neutering? Is it the fact so many people buy dogs from pet stores out of pure emotion? And what would be so bad about shelters taking over some of these pet stores and selling pets there instead of from shelters? The pets would still get the same treatment I assume. The would be spayed and neutered and have all of their shots and licensed would they not?
Why would anyone want a dog from a puppy mill? Ignorance, but the dogs still there also need homes regardless if you are “condoning” the practice. Should those dogs be taken out and shot? I think not. So what do you suggest people do with pet shop animals? Leave them there? I have no other answers, but the obvious seems to be above. Will it happen? I doubt it, but it would be a nice start.

What a lovely site and you so good for helping out our 4-foot (or feather or fin) friends. How sad these poor animals that understand NOTHING about why they don’t have the warmth of a home. How sad I that I can’t give them one.

just want to let people know. So far we made 7 cents! Not much yet, but as we can spread this around it will add up!
