Did you know that more than 8,600 shelter animals are euthanized in America every day? Want to know how you can help?
Well, thanks to a partnership with DogTime.com, thisMoment users can make a difference in the lives of homeless pets across the country simply by creating a pet Moment in our new Pets Hub! For every pet-related Moment that our users create, we’ll make a donation to the DogTime Technology Grant Program which helps shelters and rescue organizations get the word out about animals that are available for adoption all over the nation.
So come and share those funny, heart-warming Moments that you’ve experienced with your furry friends – and help save the life of a homeless pet at the same time. Create your Pet Moment here!
