National Animal Shelter Appreciate Week!

It’s National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week!

November 1-7.  (First full week of November every year.  Sorry I am not informing you of it until the last day!)

Begun in 1996 by the Humane Society of America, National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week encourages everyone who loves animals to bring public awareness to all the important work shelters do throughout the year.

Visit www.BringPetsHome.org to learn more about National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week and ways you can help support the work of shelters, from utilizing the “Shop to Help” page to downloading a “twibbon” to your BringPetsHome profile. Throughout the year, BringPetsHome’s “Shop to Help” page raises money to help shelters care for homeless pets. It serves as an online portal where visitors can access more than 150 major online retailers, like Amazon, Sephora, Wal-Mart, iTunes, and many more.

To raise money, online shoppers register at www.bringpetshome.org to select a shelter to support, then click-through to the merchant of choice. Each retailer specifies a percent commission on the Web site and donates that percentage of the purchase to BringPetsHome. There is no additional cost to the consumer.

Basically this works the same way as affiliates.  I provide affiliate links in posts from time to time, to try and supplement my postal fees and honestly to try and earn a little bit of money.  I think this program is a great way to give, with out digging into your pockets.  Because, we all know Sephora and Amazon can give up 5-7% of a sale, and give back to the little man.  (Pets or me right?)

I would love it if you would share this post!  Use the feature below to stumble, digg, mixx, reddix etc!  I am not making money from anything in this post, or links, I just want to be a friend to the little furbabies that need homes!
