Surf-ice Dog Ricochet Aids Pet Food Drive – So Can YOU!

My pal, Ricochet (and his two-legger pet parent, Judy Fridono) are emBARKing on another worthy cause and hope that you will PAW-ticipate. It’s a pet food and supplies drive to benefit animal shelters all over the globe. With the economy in the dumps, a lot of worthy animal shelters are felling the financial pinch.

Ricochet is the amazing and adorable SURF-ice dog who surfs and raises money and awareness for people and pets who need a lending paw. She is sponsored by Canidae Pet Foods who provided her with vouchers worth 354 pounds of food. That’s a mountain of kibble!

Blog Paws (www.blogpaws.com), an online resource for bloggers, organized the “Dog Days of Summer Pet Food Drive.” The deadline is fast approaching — the event ends on July 31.

Now for the mutt-know details on how you can participate:

Visit http://www.facebook.com/bethechangeforpets#!/bethechangeforpets?v=app_7146470109

* Find a shelter or pet food bank near you and call to find out whether they accept food donations. (For people in the US and Canada you can search for a local shelter and pet food bank here.)

• Print out the BTC4Pets flier then head over to your local pet supplies store to pick up a bag of food.
• Drop off the bag of food at your local shelter or food bank and have someone take a picture of you with the bag and flier.
• Write a blog post, tweet (with #BTC4Pets) and share on Facebook your pawsome achievement to inspire your friends to do the same. (Of course you can always write two blog posts — one calling your friends to join you in the food drive and the second talking about your group’s trip to the shelter!)
• Post the picture of yourself donating the food and a link to your blog/twitter account/Facebook post to the Be The Change for Pets Facebook wall along with the pounds of food donated. We’ll add this amount to the total food/supplies donated so we can all see our impact!

Ricochet thanks you and I thank you! Now, let’s go feed some hungry doggies!
