THE IDEA...
Being the owners of smaller canine companions – physically at least – we know first-hand how something so small can have such a big impact on our lives. I’m not even going to bother asking if you could imagine a life without your pups. For that reason, it’s only natural that we as animal lovers come together to accomplish something BIG to change the lives of vulnerable animals around the world.Over the past month, the ten contributors of WYD have connected with nearby animal shelters from Nova Scotia to South Africa; each one filled with incredible people giving abandoned animals the love and attention they deserve. So we figured, why not give each of these shelters a little love and attention of their own?
THE CHALLENGE...
...collect as many donations as we possibly can by the end of April to split between these phenomenal shelters. You can donate securely using our ChipIn widget below. We will be over the moon with even the smallest contributions :)
If you aren't able to contribute financially, there are plenty of other ways you can help spread the word that will be just as appreciated! You can even click 'Copy' on the donation widget to get the HTML code that you can use to include the widget in your own blog posts!
The widget is having a hard time keeping up with us. Until I get it
sorted out, know that we're over $1000 already!

THE DIFFERENCE...
Here are the organizations that we'll be working with over the next month. We'll give you updates and insights into the world of animal rescue and the massive benefit that they have on the lives of millions of animals worldwide. Look forward to video diaries, messages from volunteers, amazing adoption stories and lots of prizes!

Bide Awhile does amazing things for so little, as I'm sure the other shelters are the same. This is a wonderful idea :)
You're so right. I think so many of these shelters have been quietly achieving so much without the attention and support that they truly deserve. Hopefully this will help them all out if only a little bit!
When I copy the widget, it seems to pick up your fundraising information, rather than resetting to zero for my own. Is it supposed to do that?
Yep that's the way it works so that all donations collected from all blog widgets go to the same pool of funds raised!
I just dropped a few coins in the bucket... great idea!
last month I investigated adopting an older dog from a rescue, but realized now is not the time. I am glad to be able to help in this way, even if it's only a little bit.
What a great idea! My mom and I were thrilled to help out... and we tweeted about it and added to facebook.

The widget isn't updating as quickly as you're donating :) :) :)
We're up to over $270 so far. Thanks guys and keep it up! Tell all your friends!
Sent a bit in - in memory of Jasper, and in hopes of new rescue doxie.
I added to my facebook status and my blog! I also am trying to re-tweet when you guys do! This is amazing!!
I'm in! What a great cause and good job organizing this!
Just left a small donation from our dachshund, Ollie.
