 The Animal Rescue Site was founded to help feed and care for some of the 27 million unwanted animals given to shelters in the US every year. Since its launch in July of 2002, the site has established itself as a clear leader in online activism and a dynamic force in the effort to give all animals the happy, healthy lives they deserve. In The Animal Rescue Site's first year of operation, 22.9 million bowls of food were funded for animals in need. With the simple, daily click of the purple "Fund Food for Animals" button, visitors fund bowls of food for formerly neglected or abused animals now living in shelters or sanctuaries. Visitors pay nothing. Site sponsors pay for all funding, which benefits three leading animal welfare charities: The Fund for Animals, Petfinder.com Foundation and North Shore Animal League America. The Animal Rescue Site relies on its passionate supporters. Visitors increase the number of clicks, and the number of animals helped, by spreading the word to family and friends. In addition to clicking the button, visitors can help feed and care for animals by shopping in The Animal Rescue Site store. With each item they buy, shoppers automatically generate funds for at least 14 bowls of food for hungry animals, at no extra cost. The store offers a wide array of unique and meaningful items, including The Animal Rescue Site apparel, special gifts, jewelry, home accents and handmade treasures from around the world.
