Just saw this notice over on the Web site ADCO Interactive created for Pawmetto Pipeline:
Friday, August 27 is Dollar Donation Day!
Sounds simple, but it is so rewarding. We are asking supporters and fans to donate $1 or more in our one-day dollar donation drive. The best part is that everyone can participate from your desk, home or wherever! We have over 4,000 members of our email community—imagine if each person gave $1.00 on Friday. What about $5? Or $10?
We’ll be tracking donations all day on our facebook page and posting pics of the sweet animals you’ve helped, so be sure to check in there often.
Where will all of the money go? Once we rescue dogs and cats from the county municipal shelters they still need a lot of care before adoption. All of our pets receive their annual vaccines, spay/neuter surgeries, a microchip, and heartworm and flea preventive before they hit the adoption events. However, sometimes the needs are greater. Some need heartworm treatments (up to $500), some need dental procedures (at least $200) and others need to be nursed back to health. We do not give up on any of our animals and we do everything it takes to make them healthy and happy once rescued. Help us help them this by donating $1 or more today.
Just look what we can do with $1:
– If 20 people give $1 each, that will pay for kennel cough treatment for one dog
– If 100 people give $1 each, that will provide 3 cats with special-need diet food
– If 500 people give $1 each, that will pay to treat one dog with heartworms (we currently have 6 dogs needing treatment)
– If 1,000 people give $1 each, that will let us save 10 additional lives

OK, so I’m no Austin Meyer, but even I can afford to kick in a buck for the cause.

Hi Brad,
Great idea! I wish them much success on the campaign.
OT:
Doug’s honorable mention reminds me — do you know if Lee Muller started his own blog? At one time he had discussed doing so, but I never could find one on the web.
Thanks much for any feedback, as always.

I think this is a great idea. My mother works at a vets office and i get to see first hand all of the sick and injured animals and how costly is can be to treat them. I think that this donation day will be a great way to raise some money for pets in need since they are just sitting in a shelter with minimal stimulation and very litthe interaction with other dogs.
Wonderful, Doug! I’ll match your $10.
Thanks, Doug!
I’m matching it too.
$30 from me, in honor of Inez Tenenbaum, who was late to a campaign event in 2004 because she had to take a sick possum to the vet.
Thanks for the link, Brad! And, Doug, thank you, and I bet your daughter’s cat is as sweet as mine are!
Speaking of sick possums, Carolina Wildlife Care is also a very good thing to support. I just took them a house finch on Tuesday. My rescued cat brought it into our house through the cat door, and then it escaped so it was flying around inside when I got home. Very interesting end to an already tiring busy day.
Over the past years since i have observed goverement officals, i have never seen such a person that will go out of there way and support animals. Its very important to me to see someone that shares my interests and goals.
Personally i think this is an amazing idea! To know that there are gracious people in this world who are willing to give there effort and very little money to help the lives of these poor animals. I am a person who loves animals so this is just very touching to me! Good luck on everything and hope all of these animals have a good life!
