I know I’ve posted this picture before, but it never gets old for me. This is my dog, Howie. This is the photo taken by the shelter that made us fall in love with him and decide to adopt him. Isn’t he so stinkin’ cute?

That was three years ago, and he’s brought nothing but joy to our lives since then.

I’ve always been a dog lover, and shelters and animal rescue organizations are some of my absolute favorite charities. Dogs are the most loyal companions, and they count on us for survival. Millions of shelter dogs don’t have an owner looking out for them. Since Howie is a shelter dog, the cause is even closer to my heart now. That’s why I’m participating in the Pedigree Adoption Drive campaign!

To raise awareness about shelter dogs and encourage people to adopt a pet from their local shelter, Pedigree is donating dog food to shelters around the country. And the best part is, it’s so easy for you to participate. Here’s how:

• Visit the Pedigree Adoption Drive page on Facebook. Click the “like” button.
• Pedigree will donate 8 oz. of dog food for every person who “likes” the page.

Isn’t that easy? It costs you nothing but a moment of your time.

If you’re a blogger, you can help even more by spreading the word with a post about the campaign on your blog. Pedigree will donate 20 POUNDS of dog food to shelters for every blogger who writes about the campaign on their blog. That’s enough to feed a dog like Howie for almost a month.
