Sometimes I wonder if Ollie knows how good he’s got it. Food and water are always available, treats are plentiful, he gets lots of love and exercise, and he has a warm bed to sleep in every night. There’s so many animals that don’t even have their basic needs met, when our dog has his own blog!

The sheer number of stray dogs and the cruelty they encounter is heart breaking and one way to help make sure these animals receive the medical attention they deserve is to make a donation to the World Society for the Protection of Animals. Their organization provides mobile clinics stocked with supplies and medication to treat abused animals and actively lobbies government officials to pass legislation outlawing animal cruelty.

The WSPA works with over 900 organizations in 150 countries to help raise the standards of animal welfare around the world. The WSPA is active in fieldwork, animal welfare campaigns, education and training, as well as disaster assistance and sanctuary funding.

For a small donation of only $14 you can become part of their Animal Rescue Team and help save stray dogs and other animals from unnecessary cruelty. Your money will fund emergency relief, rehabilitate animals, education children and communities, and support legislation to outlaw animal cruelty.

I think Ollie can give up $14 a month worth of treats to do some good for his fellow dogs, don’t you?
