Save-A-Dog on Facebook

Support animal rescue efforts with a simple click of the mouse! Our friends at DogTime.com created Save-A-Dog, a Facebook application that allows you to virtually foster dogs. By virtually fostering dogs and sending them to your friends, you’ll score points that go towards cups of food and help real dogs in shelters!

For every 2,500 points you score, Dog Time donates the financial equivalent of a cup of food to RescueGroups.org, a non-profit organization that provides free and low-cost technology services to animal shelters and rescue groups across the country. To earn points, browse the photos of real-life adoptable dogs, and choose one to virtually “foster.” You'll earn 25 points by logging in every day and 25 points for "virtually walking" your dog. Earn 100 points when your your friends co-foster your dog, or any dog that you send to them for fostering.

The more you spread the word, the greater the chances these dogs will find happy and loving homes! This is a great application that raises awareness and money for dogs in need.

Wine to help out dogs

I collect wine. Not just any wine though, it has to be unique and it has to have something I love on it or something that makes me laugh. One of the first wine clubs I joined was at K9 Wines. Every bottle that you purchase comes with a unique label featuring a rescue dog. Your wine will have the information on the dog and the wine itself such as release date and date it was bottled. For every bottle that is purchased $5 goes towards helping animals with rescue partners receiving that portion of sales. It's a great way to help rescue animals and enjoy an excellent wine. Or if you're like me, have a unique wine to display.
