Well, this is disappointing but not surprising. Why share the wealth? They have no idea how much the program helped small orgs like Pawsitive Souls, but maybe they don’t care…

Received this from amazon today:

“After almost a decade of running AmazonSmile, we learned that with so many eligible organizations—more than 1 million globally—our ability to have an impact was often spread too thin.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen that Amazon can have a more significant and lasting impact if we invest in specific areas and focus our philanthropic efforts in the communities where our employees live and work. We’ve started to see the benefits of a more focused approach with our investments in programs like Amazon Future Engineer and our $2 billion investment in building affordable housing in our hometown communities through the Amazon Housing Equity Fund—and we will continue to pursue and invest in other areas where we’ve seen we can make meaningful change.

We are writing to let you know that we have made plans to wind down AmazonSmile by February 20, 2023. Until this date, customer purchases made via AmazonSmile will continue to accrue funds for your charity as normal. “

By amazon…it was nice while it lasted!
We still have a wishlist there AND on Chewy

Lucy is looking for an active home and the Marion County shelter has other great dogs available. Some have been there way too long, due to no fault of their own. Please check out their page and see about adopting an athletic Dobie, gorgeous Husky, or smoochable Pibble, and taking them out of the area and on to greener pastures (or sandy beaches 😉)

We knew this was only a matter of time: No correlation between grain-free dog diets and heart disease (DCM). Who could’ve possibly been behind the scare back in 2018 🤔

Thank you for being a friend…of the animals and our little rescue!
Your support to any and all animal related groups was amazing!
Tina, Donna, Sue, KT, Sherry, Lisa and Barb - You are so appreciated! 🧡🧡🧡

Today’s fun photo memory. I took this photo a few years ago when the wonderful Georgia Engel visited our office with her friend, Shyla, the hybrid wolf dog. 😍😍

Beautiful documentary just released on OPB (or your PBS station) - Betty White: First Lady of Television.
Quote I can very much relate to:
"Well, that's my life. The reason I work, the reason I do anything is because of my love of animals."

Happy Birthday, Beautiful Betty White 🧡

A warm look at the life and career of the beloved television and film legend.

Today should have been a day to celebrate Betty White's 100th Birthday! A day to honor this beautiful, funny, and animal-loving trailblazer. Yet it was not meant to be...

Over the past weeks I have shed many tears along with laugh out loud moments as I watched her instant-classic SNL appearance, the tributes, and the clips from her performances and day to day life. She was a one-of-a-kind and I kick myself that I never tried to reach out to her - you know, look her number up in the phone book and call, like you do with any celebrity.

My grandma would've turned 100 on February 9th if she were still with us, but she left too soon as well. She was the animal lover in the family. There was never a time I recall where she did not have a pet of some sort and she was my hero and superstar. Without a doubt she's the one who passed the animal-obsessed-human gene on to me. I will always love her for that!

Losing these two amazing women hurts...a lot, but in loss we find courage and determination. I hope the encourages millions of you to donate $5 to all the animal rescues, sanctuaries, advocates, and non-profits fighting to make this world a better place for ALL animals, that you can afford to help! Let's make a huge statement for the animals in honor of the unforgettable BETTY WHITE! We 🧡 you, Betty!

It’s a bit of a challenge to see any silver lining in losing the wonderful and talented Betty White, but we can get behind this: On January 17 she would’ve turned 100 among us humans. Instead she will celebrate with her late soulmate and pets who passed. The rest of us can celebrate her life and legacy by donating to animal welfare non-profits. Let’s make her proud!
You are missed, Betty 🧡🌈

The news of Betty White’s passing, days before her 100th Birthday hurts. I loved her sense of humor, but many of us in the animal world also loved her because her undying support for the animals. You will be dearly missed Betty White. May you be surrounded once again by your loving animals and soulmate.
🧡
If you love animals anywhere as much as Betty did, please consider making a year-end donation to support us or any of the other wonderful animal nonprofits out there. Up to $300 are once again tax-deductible in the US, regardless if you use the standard deduction or not. We hope you put those funds to good use. Thank you 🧡

This cutie-pie (Pinky) was pulled from an over-crowded LA County shelter and flown up to me by a Delta Airlines volunteer almost 6 years ago. In May 2016 she was adopted by the bestest Mom in Astoria. She had had a rough life in LA and endured several surgeries to battle the tumors that continued to plague her. Today she battles no more and crossed the 🌈 bridge. We loved this sweetest, spunkiest and bravest girl. You are missed by many, Pinky! 🧡🧡🧡
Megan, thank you for getting her out of there! This little senior kicked butt and took names 🧡🧡🧡

Rescues are non-profit, and the financial struggles are real, but the pandemic has made resources even more scarce for many of them, so over the next several days we are going to call on you to help us gift this resource to incredible dog rescues and organizations.

Today we are gifting books to shelters and foster care networks focusing on SENIOR DOGS! 🐾
