Inuvo and The ASPCA Partner to Help our Furry Friends!

Christmas is a time to share, buy, give, and love.  We all love our pets as they are part of the family, don’t we?  In a recent survey taken by the NY Daily News, 70% of people said they view their pets as children.   Our furry friends enjoy the lights and action the Holidays bring as much as we do! They deserve to be included in the regular family gift exchange, don’t you think?  The Inuvo Team is undoubtedly a group of pet-loving fanatics. 

“I adopted my dog, Izzy, a little over a year ago from a local shelter after finding local shelters through the ASPCA.  The staff was great and was very helpful with helping me to find a dog that was right for me.  She had at least two previous owners in about two years, and was ready to find a "forever home".  Since getting her, I can't imagine not having her around.  She's a very friendly and calm dog, and quickly learned to do things like sit, stay, and even high fives when you ask her nicely.  Without organizations like the ASPCA, she may not have been at a shelter for me to adopt, and I try to donate to help save others dogs like Izzy whenever I can.  I am extremely excited to be working with the ASPCA now in an effort to help them to raise more money to find homes for animals that need them!” – John Vehlewald, VP of Affiliate Products.

“There is no better feeling than adopting an animal, and giving him or her a home to be happy in. When I adopted my dog it started out as fostering. I had him for about a week and I was totally hooked. A woman called me just a few days later asking about him and I did not return her calls. She left me several voice mails but I could not get myself to call her back. Finally, I decided to fully adopt him and it has been a wonderful experience.  In a lot of these situations, the animals have been abused so I took him to several training classes to break bad habits, and most importantly train me. He is an incredible dog who enjoys life to the fullest. He’s an integralpart of my life, and I think I am for him too.” – Jason Carter, Senior Data Architect.

The ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and Inuvo, Inc. announced yesterday afternoon the launch of an online comparison shopping portal which enables shoppers this holiday season – and all year-round – to shop online while contributing to one of their favorite causes. Through the new site, ShopandSupportASPCA.com, supporters of the ASPCA can take advantage of great deals, and up to 30 percent of purchase prices will be donated directly to the ASPCA.

Here’s the scoop: You buy and our furry friends receive.  For each purchase you make from ShopandSupportASPCA.com a portion of the purchase is donated to the ASPCA and you help save a life!

It’s no secret that the economy continues to struggle, but no matter what, Americans still buy gifts during the Holidays, even for their pets.  Some 62% of households own a pet, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, and 51% of dog owners will buy a gift for their dog this Christmas.
