Would You Like To Help Donate Kibble For Cats and Dogs In Shelters For Free?

I heard this story on the World News Now the other night and think it's wonderful. A young girl, aged 12, named Mimi Ausland from Oregon has a great love and compassion for pets all her life and as early as age 9 wanted to work in her local shelter. But, due to her age couldn't, she could only volunteer there. Many of the dogs at this shelter were "foreclosure" dogs...that is dogs that were abandoned by people when their homes went into foreclosure and they left the pet behind. She couldn't help notice that as with all shelters nationwide, keeping shelter pets well fed was something of a task, as most shelters are non-profit and rely on donations. She wanted to help, and out of her own allowance would buy a gigantic bag of kibble dry dog food, usually once a week, but she wanted to do even more. Having been aware of the website where one clicks answers to questions and donates free rice to the world's hungry, Mimi then got the brilliant idea of setting up something similar but for pet food and created a website where by participating in "Bow-Wow" or "Meow" trivia, one is presented the question of the day, and one has to answer it. The good news though one doesn't even have to answer the question right, but with each click on the trivia donates 10 pieces of kibble each for dogs and cats. That may not sound like a lot, but according to the statistics a total of 89,435,590 pieces of kibble has been donated so far since April 1, 2008. At first this donation process only helped her local shelter but has expanded to shelters from Oregon to Florida.
