on it once. Each time a person clicks on that button, the website’s sponsors provide
bowls of food, free, to feed 6 dogs and cats.

reminder is e-mailed, and that is it. No hard-sell follow-ups. And if you realize how good
it will make you feel to be able to do at least something for these poor, loving creatures
who are there through no fault of their own (some have been rescued from abusive
owners), imagine how even bowls of food will help make the animals feel better.
Please take just seconds a day to lift 6 animals’ spirits ... and your own. Thanks.
