Dogpile

Animals lovers won’t be able to resist this: it is free, it is easy, and a few simple clicks on your computer send money directly to the ASPCA.

“You search, together we rescue.” This is the motto of the new search engine, Dogpile.

 

They have launched Search & Rescue, a philanthropy program that donates money each time a user searches the Internet using Dogpile.com. Their goal is to raise $1 million by the end of 2009. To date, we’ve raised more than $93,000– you can view the live counter at the Dogpile homepage.

According to Dogpile, as it turns out, “now is an incredibly important time to help the ASPCA. Research we’ve conducted shows that Americans are decreasing their donations by an average of 41 percent in 2009 due to economic struggles. This combined with a home foreclosure crisis that has left many animals abandoned, leaves animal-related charities in a dire situation.”

So, simple, right? Point, type, search and rescue.
