Freekibble.com Provides Free Kibble

You Can Help Feed Shelter Dogs and Cats with a Single Mouse Click

Brad Sylvester
I recently wrote an article about dog meat being removed from menus near the Olympic venues in China. In the article I mentioned that I have two dogs of my own. The most recent addition was rescued from a kill shelter and has become a valuable and beloved member of our family. One reason kill shelters exist is because it is expensive for them to take care of the unwanted dogs they receive. Now there's a way for all of us to help defray these costs and provide free kibble to animal shelters. The best news is that this free kibble really is free, we can help provide it without having to pay a dime. In fact, all we need to do is spend about 30 seconds every day. A single click of the mouse at freekibble.com results in the automatic donation of free kibble from zootoo.com who is a primary sponsor of freekibble.com.

Freekibble.com's Free Kibble Donations

A click on the question of the day, whether or not you get the answer correct, results in 20 pieces of free kibble being donated to dog shelters. Freekibble.com reports that their first two deliveries of free kibble in May and June of this year provided enough free kibble to feed a total of 1456 dogs for a day, or more than 200 dogs for a week, or... well you get the picture. This type of assistance removes pressure from dog shelters to euthanize dogs for which no home can be immediately found.

Not only does zootoo.com donate free kibble every time you click your mouse on the appropriate spot on freekibble.com, but they also cover the distribution of the free kibble to animal shelters. Zootoo.com is a website dedicated to assisting distressed pets and providing pet owners with information to help them care for their animals.

Free Kibble for Cats

What if you happen to a cat person instead of a dog person? Freekibble.com has a sister site, called freekibblekat.com which, you guessed it, provides free kibble for cats in animal shelters. The site works in the same was as freekibble.com, once a day you visit the site and click your mouse on the question of the day link to trigger a donation of kibble from zootoo.com.

Both sites are the brain child of an actual child, Mimi Ausland. Mimi Ausland is a 12 year old girl from West Bend Oregon who was dismayed at the number of cats and dogs in shelters who were in need of good meals every day. As the popularity of her website grows, she hopes to begin distributing free kibble to more and more animal shelters.

Other Ways to Help Freekibble.com

While zootoo.com currently provides all the free kibble for freekibble.com's programs, Mimi would like to expand the amount of free kibble that she is able to provide for each mouse click the site receives. Adding additional freekibble.com sponsors would help her do this. If your company would like to help sponsor free kibble for cats and dogs, contact Mimi through the contact page on freekibble.com or freekibblekat.com, but only after you've made your free kibble click for the day. Those of you without the ability to help sponsor free kibble, can also help. In addition to clicking each day for free kibble, you can pick up a banner that links back to freekibble.com or freekibblekat.com to place on your website. More traffic and daily clicks at freekibble.com means more free kibble. Tell all you friends how to provide free kibble, send them to freekibble.com or email them a link to this story so they can find out more and start helping to feed needy dogs and cats, too.
