Readers of That Mutt have raised $140 so far to help sponsor the adoption donation fee of a Lab/pitbull mix named Gemini.
I love how a blog in southern California can accept donations from people all over the country to help a dog in Fargo, N.D.
Donations have come in so far from places such as Duluth, Minn.; New York; Los Angeles; and Indianapolis.
People really do come together to help dogs.
I will give 100 percent of the money to the Humane Society Fargo-Moorhead at the time of Gemini’s adoption (update: Gemini has an adoption in the works!). Sponsoring her fee allows someone to adopt her at a reduced cost, which increases her chance of getting into a home sooner.
For more information, see my post on why reduced adoption fees are effective.
Those who donate $20 or more will receive a FREE 2014 Mutt Calendar.
I am currently looking for additional rescue groups or shelters to work with. Readers of That Mutt will have the opportunity to support a new dog every month. If you have a recommendation of a rescue group or specific dog in need of help, email me at [email protected].
Check back next Wednesday to meet the dog That Mutt will be sponsoring in February.
