Your Bad Dog’s Secrets Can Help Homeless Dogs Have a Feast!

// March 25th, 2009 // Pets

I was hanging out in my own little Twitterverse today when @dogster sent out a little tweet announcing the great things that the people of Dogfessions are doing for Shelter Dogs! Knowing that Wet Nose Willy’s fans might have a dogfession or two up their sleeves themselves I thought I’d pay it forward and let our fans know what a great program they have going on!

First off, Willy wants to make sure that we’re all on the same page about what a “Dogfession” really is. From the Dogfessions web site:

Dogfessions is a “pet project” for dog lovers who have a secret, a weird fact, or a funny story to share about their best furry friend. From dog training fiascos to letting your dog hog the bed, we all have secrets about our dogs — it’s a relationship like any other. We keep secrets from our dogs and we tell them our secrets — the dogs aren’t going to tell anyone (we hope). We think and feel things about our dogs that we wouldn’t want anyone to know, and often, that we wouldn’t even want our dogs to know!

Anyone wishing to share a dogfession is instructed to create a 4×6 postcard illustrating your particular “dog secret” and send the postcard via snail mail to:

Dogfessions
676A Ninth Ave., #321
New York, NY 10036

But wait!! There’s more!! Rachael Ray has teamed up with Dogfessions to make this an altruistic opportunity! Rachael Ray’s Nutrish dog food has pledged to send 1 pound of dog for each Dogfession post card received. Dogfessions has selected Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and Sabbath Memorial Dog Rescue as recipients of the food raised through this effort. Their goal is to be able to donate 3 TONS of food to each shelter — which equates to 6,000 postcards that they need to receive! Currently, Dogfessions has almost reached the 20% mark.

I know that Willy’s pals must have some secrets to share! Let’s all get out there and help our bad dog pals fashion those postcards and get them out to the people at Dogfessions so they can help some needy pooches!
