Dogster Site News and Updates




 

 

Help Cure Canine Cancer by Joining Plus Today!

   

Woof woof! I'm very pleased to announce Dogster's first Plus Subscription Drive. Subscribing members mean a lot (A LOT!) to us. It confirms to us that you really love and use the site and that we can commit even more fully to making it just how you want it. Each annual subscription goes a long way to covering our server, hosting, office and development team costs.

But we also know that in the end this isn't about Dogster, so much as it's about DOGS, thus we are happy to announce the launch of a new campaign: for each new annual Plus subscription purchased from today until the end of August, Dogster will donate $2 to help save dogs.

Cure Canine Cancer

As of July 25th all funds raised will go to Cure Canine Cancer, an exemplary medical research effort being run by the excellent Morris Animal Foundation. The more folks that join Plus during this time period, the more money will be donated to this important cause, and the more we know you are with us for the long haul =).

All very exciting! We hope you also noticed that we recently doubled the number of photos that Plus members can upload and share. Plus members can now post 100 photos for each of their pets and have an updated Photo Book to display them in. We've also been adding a lot of new items to the Gift Shop that you can give to your pals with your free monthly Zealies. And there are now 5 Plus-only Forums dedicated to Plus Pups.

So pawlease if you love the site, want to enjoy your experience more completely, or just want to help out a couple of amazing organizations, buy a new annual subscription between now and August 31st.

    How about the user picking their own charity? I would much rather support Carolina Canines for Service, www.carolinacanines.org, a small organization providing great services to people with disability AND using puppies/dogs from rescue, then a big organization like Dogster picked. The small groups are struggling with donations down by 40% or more because of the economy!

    Thanks.

    This is a great idea! I’m in! I will also post a mention about this with a link back to you on my blog @ http://www.WhatADogLoves.com.

    I am always looking for great values and opportunities to raise funds for the pups (and the kits)

    Thanks! Viveca

    In December my boxer was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, we lost Charlie 6 weeks later. It was then I realized just how little is really know about canine cancer. This is a great idea.

    For all of you who are as passionate about the health of your dog as I am, you should join the Cure Canine Cancer group on Facebook

    I just joined 3 days ago and love the new things I can do. I am so happy to help out but I to am wondering about the organizations. Can we not chose one? There are so many small ones like Paws and Claws Rescue Hot Springs,Ar. that are really struggling and rely on donations..

    Oh Hello,

    This idea is better than SLICED BREAD!!!

    However, Not enough EXPOSURE the time was way to short for it. I just now found it!!! The advertising for such an important event was nill at best. COME ON you people, you are letting us animals down. You are able to do better, yes???

    Thank you so much for what you were able to do, I am just sad that it could not be streched out maybe to a years worth or half a year’s worth then we can reach more….at this level you are just starting to reach people…..the ads are just touching lives, and now they will stop just when they will work!!!!

    Someone has to say it!!! The time frame should be much much longer. Because this was a great idea, why not run it again, but longer!!!! If you truly want membership, run this for a YEAR!!!!!

    AND GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT IT !!!!!!!

    Nickolas
