Just a quick reminder you can give free bowls of food and care via The Animal Rescue Site, with a single click.
And if you are feeling very clickable, check the other tabs at the top of the page while you are there. You can click to give support to other worthy causes such as Literacy, the Rainforest, etc.

Test your dog knowledge and donate kibble to shelter dogs in the process. Afraid you’ll get the answer wrong? Doesn’t matter. Wrong answers donate kibble, too! One of those few instances a wrong makes a right. 
Pssst! Like cats? You can give shelter cats free food, too.

Hum…what is that cute, adoptable dog or cat really like!? Will he or she be a perfect match to my home and family lifestyle or turn it upside down?
At many shelters it’s been a guessing game for the adopter, but no longer. A new personality evaluation test called Meet Your Match™, developed by the ASPCA, can help people make the right match the first time. This program is being used at local shelters across the country, include our own Austin Humane Society, who began using the program earlier this month to find better home matches for cats.
The animals are sorted into three main personality categories, which are color coded for easy identification. These categories are then broken down further into more specific types, such as: The Executive, The Goofball, The Personal Assistant, Free Spirit, etc. (Would be interesting to see which categories our crew would be in. Seems “The Goofball” fits everyone at some point each day! )

Nope, it’s a Frenchie!
As the unofficial Easter breed, some of the best Easter baskets around are assembled in the name of Frenchies. Check out the Easter Basket Raffle over at the French Bulldog Rescue Network. There’s some seriously nice loot in those baskets and at $5 a chance, or 5 chances per $20, you might even get to take one home. But you better hurry. The last day to get your tickets is March 13 by 9 PM EST.

Penney is a hit-and-run survivor who found herself in the best of homes, a home full of Frenchies! She is the lone fuzzy wuzzy among four snorting, bat-eared pals. All that Frenchie-ness has rubbed off on her because she’s now hot on the political trail to be crowned El Rey Fido of San Antonio!
El Rey Fido is an honor bestowed upon the dog that raises the most funds for the rescue of homeless animals in San Antonio, Texas. Something Penney feels very strongly about, as she was once there herself.
But fear no more Penney, victory can be yours! You have till April 1st to earn the right to participate in Fiesta dressed in velvet robes and a crown. An outfit, which would do your Frenchie-family proud! Go Penney go!
