We’ve heard for years about shelters that have to put dogs down because they don’t have enough space. Now some advocates are saying that the real problem in really a lack of food. So rapper Snoop Dogg is partnering with Dog for Dog, a dog food company that donates one bag of food to shelters for every bag of food sold.

This is really a Godsend for Dog for Dog, because the company does not advertise its products in any traditional sense, preferring instead to use their money to donate food to shelters. So they have to rely on word of mouth and the buzz created when celebrities like Snoop Dogg begin buying their food and publicizing their cause.

Other celebrity supporters include Michael Buble and Chelsea Handler.

What a cool cause to support!

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

I really hadn’t intended this to be the week that I kept coming back again and again to ask for donations, but there is such a great need out there. I’m trying at least to give you a variety of options so you can choose where your donation, however large or small, can do the most good.

None of the causes I’m posting have any relationship to doggies.com and are not, per se, endorsed by this site. Do your research and make sure you know what you’re giving to and how the money will be used. (I guess I probably should have said that on Monday!)

I love sharing these videos from Hope for Paws. I am continually amazed by their patience and care in picking up scared and injured dogs who have never known the gentle touch of a loving human. Check out their YouTube Channel, Facebook page, and website for more information on this wonderful organization, founded by two people with a passion for rescuing dogs.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
