Survey to Help Pet Charity
A ThoughtsFurPaws reader recently sent this to me in an email and I thought I’d post it in case some of you want to participate and, along the way, help animals in shelters.
The reader, Cindy Lentino, is a grad student at GWU doing a survey for her master’s thesis about pet ownership and health.
The purpose of her research project is to assess health and physical activity levels of adults in the U.S. of pet-owners and non-pet owners. It consists of taking an anonymous online survey which is estimated to take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
The only requirements to participate is to be 18 years or older and currently living in the U.S.
**Most importantly, for every completed survey received, $1 will be donated to various charities (up to $400) that benefit animal welfare, including, the Humane Society of the U.S. and the Best Friends Animals Society.**
Cindy is trying to recruit mainly pet owners first and then having them nominate a non-dog/non-pet owner to take the survey as well. (Not sure how much luck we will all have in finding a non-pet-owner around our group of pet blogs but if you happen to know one, please forward along!)
To take part in this study, please visit: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ru5lgmEE9bfNQcC4NM1gPw_3d_3d
To follow Cindy’s progress on Twitter, follow her at http://twitter.com/CindyCorgiMama.
The deadline to participcate is September 30th.
Thanks everyone

Quick Update: Some whacko jerk anti-HSUS freak (can you tell I’m p**sed?) called and complained to Cindy’s supervisor/thesis advisor about donations going to HSUS so the donations will now be going to Best Friends and the NAIA.
Is it really time to revisit the HSUS debate AGAIN people? COME ON….

We’ll hit it befur the 30th – but we really don’t think we have a non-pet type to nominate!
