More Amazing & Easy Philanthropy

soft, furry, snuggly, warm & loving
my dogs sniffed, wagged & befriended
bless the kind and caring 4 legged's

 "We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made." M. Acklam

At 7 years old Mimi started volunteering at a local animal shelter, and at age 11 she createD the website Freekibble.com "Every dog deserves a decent dinner!". The passage below is right off their site:

Mimi Ausland, a 12 year old girl from Bend, Oregon, wanted to help feed the hungry animals at her local animal shelter. “There are 10’s of thousands of dogs and cats in animal shelters across the country, all needing to be fed a good meal.” Say hello to freekibble.com and freekibblekat.com!

Freekibble.com's primary mission is to provide good, healthy food to dogs and cats to those shelters who are working so hard to see that none of them go hungry - they need our help. In addition to providing free kibble to  the Humane Society of Central Oregon, we've added 13 new shelters to the program (from Oregon to Florida!) and plan to expand the program to many more! Thanks to everyone for supporting freekibble by playing the trivia game - every piece of kibble counts!

You can, also, find a link to the Freekibble.com site through their badge at the right side of my page. Proving again how much one caring person can make a difference. I have added a trip to her sites Freekibble and Freekatkibble to my day. Thank you, Mimi, for helping our dog and cat friends. Thank you for giving me an easy way to make a contribution.

May we share with our animal friends

Mimi's sites have raised over 137 tons of dog and cat kibble since April of 2008

When I first noticed on December 10 Yahoo's Spread Kindness site there were 3,210 acts posted on the site. This morning it's showing 139,298.

Social media at it's best.
