CLICK TO FEED HUNGRY ANIMALS
Marshall sent us this reminder.
You can provide some needed food for hungry animals by just following the instructions below. Susie and I try to "Click" daily.
Visit The Animal Rescue Site every day to give a bowl of food to an abandoned animal -- at no cost to you -- and participate in the fight to save animals in need. Funding for nutritious food, paid for by site sponsors, is generated when you click on the "Feed an Animal in Need" button on the Home page of The Animal Rescue Site http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/home
Last year, from the site's launch in July 2002 to the end of 2002, visitors to The Animal Rescue Site funded a total of 11,720,254 bowls of food! In 2003, with your help, we'll help many more animals in need. But it depends on the number of people who visit the site.
So, please make visiting The Animal Rescue Site part of your daily routine and help spread the word to your friends and family!
(Mary's note) From this site, you can also access the Rain Forest Site, the Hunger site, the Child Health Site, and The Breast Cancer Site where your "clicks" can provide help to people, animals, and the environment, funded by the site sponsors. Also, please visit Ecologyfund.com where your clicks can help preserve wildlife habitat.
