I saw this at Teens Read and Write, and thought: I must post about this!
It's a great cause, everyone. Pedigree, the maker of pet food, will donate 20 pounds of dog food for every blogger who posts before midnight Eastern Time on September 3.
And all you have to do is post and link up. Awesome.

How you can help in 2011
Simply spread the word about Write a Post, Help a Dog 2011 and once again Pedigree will donate 20 pounds of food for each blogger's post. Here's all you need to include in your post:
- The Write a Post, Help a Dog program is aimed at raising awareness and food for the more than four million dogs that wind up in shelters and breed rescues each year.
- For each blog post mentioning the Pedigree Foundation from now until midnight ET on September 3, Pedigree will donate 20 pounds of its new dry Pedigree recipe food for dogs -- its best recipe ever -- to a shelter, because every dog deserves leading nutrition.
- The Pedigree Foundation -- a 501 (C)(3) nonprofit organization is committed to helping dogs by providing grants to shelters and rescues and encouraging dog adoption. This year the Foundation has already raised more than $376,570 against its goal of $1.5 million to carry out its work to fund grants that not only help shelters operate, but to further shelter innovations.

What great reason for writing a post. Wish I had more time today. I support my local shelter though. :)
Jules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow
Helping dogs is certainly a worthy cause. :)
I'll send others to link back here. Great cause, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the heads up on this. great cause.
oh my...so many dogs without homes and then you've got the unscrupulous breeder mills churning them out. People have created this problem just like everything else. Bottom line is money.
As a dog lover/owner, I really need to help with this as much as I can. Thanks for the heads up!
Jules: Yay. :)
Hektor: Wouldn't have posted about it otherwise!
Anne: You're welcome! Thanks for spreading the word.
Old Kitty: Me, too.
Charles: You're welcome! :)
Michael: Sadly, it often does come down to that. Food, shelter, medical care for the animals.
Marlena: Anytime!
What a great thing to do.. Heading to post about it right now.
I got the word from Anne and have posted the info on my blog. A lovely way to say Happy Labor Day. Thanks!
Great heads up... I've added a post at mine too
Lx
as soon as i hit publish comment i'm going to post this on my own blog! what a great program, i am definitely on board.
This is a great cause. I updated my post today with the link to here (and to Anne Gallagher since that's where I saw this first).
I posted on the linky thing, but I don't see my link there. Could you let me know if it will update later, or if I need to do something else to post my link?
Have a good weekend Eagle.

WTG! What a great cause. :)
Golden Eagle - what a brilliant idea. I'm just sorry I got here too late to partake.
I have only recently returned from my rabbit hole exile and squinting in the light has taken up most of my time.
I am slowly making the rounds and catching up on my reading - hence my reappearance - did you even know I was gone...ahhh to be missed!
But...I digress - and will come back to my train of thought, before the train leaves the station with me standing on the platform scratching my head in wonder.
Congratulation to all the participant of the worthy challenge - as a dog owner I applaud all of you!
Cheers, Jenny
What a great idea. When we eventually get our dog, he won't be coming from anywhere else but a shelter.
What a great cause. Yay for helping lovely dogs get some good food!
