The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation Helps Tsunami Animal Victims

People around the world continue to be concerned for the Japanese people following the terrible tragedy that struck their country less than two weeks ago. Animal lovers especially understand how a disaster of this magnitude has not only affected the people who suddenly became homeless, but also affected their beloved pets. Responding to the horrific earthquake and Tsunami which devastated Japan, The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation, headquartered in Boulder Colorado, is assisting the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation, presently on location in Japan. The Bow Wow Buddies is deeply involved in this fundraising campaign, through their website and 140 plus franchises across the United States. The target dates for this fund raising drive are from March 15 - March 30. Visit the Bow Wow Buddies' Facebook Page. A Little Bit about the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation: Promoting the health and welfare of all animals around the world is the mission of the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation. Their primary goal is finding both foster and permanent loving homes for unwanted animals. Additionally, the Foundation promotes humane education and treatment of animals, and investing in research and veterinary medical care for animals suffering from illness. Bow Wow Buddies also launched the K-9's Against Cancer campaign, and funds an annual scholarship at CSU Animal Cancer Center, one of the most renowned facilities in the world. Bow Wow Buddies' philosophy is that "all animals have the same basic needs -- clean food and water, shelter and love." Due to the animal overpopulation around the world, abuse, neglect and animal suffering is on the rise. During 2011, the organization's financial efforts will be focused on the On Our Way Home Project along with installing fencing into participating shelters and a grant program focusing on shelter play yard socialization. All of these endeavors are targeted to increase the adoptability of shelter animals. For further information about the organization, email Bow Wow Buddies Foundation at info@bowwowbuddies.com.
