News Reel - Rescues are Overwhelmed

This was emailed to me and I thought I would share. Not that it's new news, but the more publicity we can get about pet over-population, spay/neuter necessities, adoptions and euthanasia the better.

MEDIA ADVISORY

Pet Rescues in Southern Ontario are overwhelmed

(Markham, ON - June 8, 2010): Homeless pets urgently need the assistance of

the public to avert a disaster created in part by the current economy and

the closures of the Toronto Humane Society Shelter and the OSPCA Shelter in

Newmarket.

Asshat Award - Congratulations! I hear you're expecting

CraigsList ... I don't even know where to start. I think it is a great idea because it offers people a place where they can have a chance to re-home their pets without them going to the shelters ... you KNOW how much space we don't have in our shelters! The more that are rehomed without walking through that door, the better in my opinion. Unfortunately, CL also opens the door for BYBers, dumping, lab testing pickups, hoarders and asshats. I would like to take a moment to address the OP of the below ad.

Adgitize Summer Promotion

I'm sure you all know that I have advertising space on my blog but for those of you who have only recently joined us, you may not be aware that all the money I earn from advertising (above and beyond my costs) goes towards the animals. I donate this money to a dog related rescue (please remember that readers are always welcome to comment and make a suggestion regarding who this money is donated to!).





I run advertising on a network called Adgitize. I find Adgitize alone brings me a large amount of traffic and is well worth the $14 a month it costs. Most months, the advertising pays for itself and leaves between $5-10 extra that I can donate ... in one year, that could be up to $120 and all it takes is 30 minutes of my time!




There is a summer promotion going on with Adgitize that offers the opportunity to help even more! Click below to read a short excerpt from the Adgitize blog explaining how Adgitize Special Summer Promotion Helps You Earn More Money!
