PetSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:00:00 -0700

The dog Kelly Ripa jokingly refers to as "the world's largest Shih Tzu," Chewy Consuelos joins her human fam for some outside fun in SoHo. She does look a tad too big to tote so she's using paws to prowl the New York City streets.

Rescued from the North Shore Animal League (and with a name bestowed by Lola, Michael, and Joaquin), she even got to enjoy June's Take Your Dog To Work Day with her TV mom! Check out this talented pooch making a furry cameo on Live with Regis and Kelly when you read more.

Remember when Mýa and the North Shore Animal League kicked off the Tour For Life just a couple weeks ago? Well, now that the cross-country adoption drives have their engines up and running, check out all the people who cruised in for yesterday's event featuring pets from the North Shore Animal League America and the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services at Venice Beach, CA. I love to see celebrities backing good causes, and this certainly counts as a great one. This month-long cooperative initiative with animal shelters across the country not only raises public awareness about the plights of all shelter pets, it also helps hundreds of orphaned dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens find their forever homes. And, because I love looking at cute pooches finding new families, I couldn't resist sharing a gallery of some of the adoptable furries when you read more.

The Scoop: Feed Shelter Pets Just By Clicking

PetSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 08:00:34 -0700

Have you ever walked into an animal shelter and wanted to take every single one of those little guys home with you? It's so sad knowing that a lot of them won't make it to a forever home. Becoming a foster parent can help by taking the animals out of the shelter and increasing their chances of survival but, because of monetary constraints, it's just a fact of life that shelters can't always get the food and vaccinations they need. So what can we do to help? In addition to donating money to your local shelters or volunteering to be a foster parent to an animal until they can find a permanent family, now all you have to do is click.

The Animal Rescue Site has set up a totally cool and easy way to get involved. Just by clicking a button on their main page, you can help shelter animals get the food they need to survive. To see how, just read more.

Charity sponsors get ad space on the page, and for each click of the button, donate bowls of food to animals in need. Plus, when you purchase goods from their online store, the sponsors donate even more! One hundred percent of sponsors' advertising fees goes to the charitable partners – one of which is the North Shore Animal League who Mýa has partnered up with during the Tour for Life – so you know your clicking is well spent, and going to all the right places.

Plus, you can also:

Send pet e-cards to friends and family. Each time the card is opened, more funds are donated to Animal Rescue Site's charitable partners.
Buy vaccinations, spaying and neutering services, as well as funding shelters, caring for rescued animals, and help in wildlife habitat preservation.

It doesn't take much, so head to The Animal Rescue Site and see what kind of a difference you can make.
