The group realizes that rescuing single dogs will never make an impact on the plight of the species as a whole.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We met the awesome people at <b>Lucky Mutts</b> a few months ago at a dog event here in Austin. We love their emphasis on education and advocacy, and they have one of the best taglines I&#8217;ve heard: Good Used Dogs for Lucky People. It says it all and the fortunate mutts who find their forever homes are indeed lucky, thanks to these kind-hearted folks.</p>

<h4>About Lucky Mutts</h4>
<p><i>Lucky Mutts is a non profit organization with the foremost goal of being a premier canine advocacy group in the Austin and surrounding areas. The group realizes that rescuing single dogs will never make an impact on the plight of the species as a whole. To reduce the number of abandoned and unwanted animals, Lucky Mutts strives to educate the public about responsible dog ownership.</p>
<p>This goal is approached by several avenues: Public education through specialized programs geared toward different demographics; Active participation in legislation concerning our canine companions; Producing prime examples of how responsible dog ownership creates well adjusted animals that are an asset to the community; Partnering with organizations to provide service, therapy, search and rescue, and police dog; Adopting out dogs that are excellent examples of our program to the general public.</i></p>

<h4>About the St. Louis Senior Dog Project</h4>
<p><i>From volunteer Elisa Leyva:</i><br />
The St. Louis Senior Dog Project is an all volunteer organization that rescues dogs of all ages but focuses on the rescue and adoption of dogs older than five years old. I joined this organization a little over a year ago and what attracted me to them was their dedication to older dogs and how important it is to give those dogs a second chance. The St. Louis Senior Dog Project does not have a shelter so all of the dogs searching for homes are in foster homes so we are always happy to have more foster families join the group!  One of the great things about this organization is that even though it is a small non-profit the impact is still profound specially on the lives of the rescued dogs, just a few months back our leader Ellen E. rescued the oldest dog from a puppymill auction she called him Freedom, he is 12 years old and a happy member of a new family now. That day Freedom didn&#8217;t stand a chance against all the other younger dogs but it is because of the dedication of groups like St. Louis Senior Dog Project that he now finally has a chance at a real life. I am happy to be a volunteer of this organization and I hope that more and more people consider adopting an adult or senior dog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have had the pleasure of working with today&#8217;s group for the past three years and we love them, from the cause right down to the people. Remember the <a href="http://iloverescueanimals.org/2010/09/write-a-post-help-a-dog/">&#8220;Write a Post, Save a Dog&#8221;</a> blog? Yeah. They&#8217;re awesome. They have a passion for animal welfare and do all they can for rescues and shelters who need a little help. And, let&#8217;s just admit it, they have THE best dog commercials on TV. &#8220;Do not pity a shelter dog, adopt one.&#8221;</p>

<h4>About The Pedigree Foundation</h4>
<p><i>Through no fault of their own, more than four million dogs end up in shelters and breed rescue organizations every year, and nearly half of them never find a place to call home. Our mission is to help those dogs by providing grants to 501(c)(3) shelters and rescue groups—and by encouraging dog adoption.</p>
<p>The Foundation has its roots in The PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive, a campaign initiated in 2005 by PEDIGREE® Brand. This annual adoption drive—active in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland—has helped raise awareness of, and funds for, dogs in need. The PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive was also featured in an episode of the hit TV series The Celebrity Apprentice®. In 2007, PEDIGREE® Brand created The PEDIGREE Foundation to further help the cause.</i></p>
