Helping Shelter Pets with a Click

I heard a radio program earlier in the week about the prevalence of shelter dogs and the inspiring people who are helping them find new homes. These include Dr. Mike Moyer, Director of Penn Vet's Shelter Medicine program. An elective course, Dr. Moyer takes fourth year students into the trenches of real live animal shelters to let them see (and practice) first hand the type of medicine required by animals in shelters.

In any event, the overall message was one of need on the part of the animals. Which led me to the video above by Dr. Marty Becker, Good Morning America's vet. If you follow the instructions in the video, which basically entail clicking the Like on his Facebook page, Dr. Becker will donate $1 for every click toward a fund that helps shelter animals get the veterinary care they need.

The American Animal Hospital Association Helping Pets Fund works with AAHA-accredited practices to assist animals in need.

A win-win situation for all, especially the animals.
