A follow on Twitter can = free kibble

In a new promotion, you can get food to needy dogs with just a click of your mouse.

The company Halo Purely for Pets has teamed up with Freekibble.com to help Freekibble launch its Twitter page. For the first 200,000 followers for both Halo and Freekibble on Twitter, Halo will donate one meal of Spot's Stew.  

(I just signed up to follow Freekibble and was follower No. 2,131, so there's plenty of opportunity left to help....)

Freekibble was created last year by a 13-year-old girl in Oregon who wanted to help feed animals at her local shelter. The site donates a bit of food every time someone visits and plays a game. It's a great cause and costs nothing to use but a second or two of your time. It's actually a fun site....I just was able to "donate" 10 pieces of kibble for answering a question correctly about poodles -- if I got it wrong Teddy Bean would have killed me!

Halo is a food company part-owned by Ellen DeGeneres.

Thanks for sharing this with your readers. My college age daughters had made me aware of this site and I get a reminder every day to answer the question. They also have questions about cats on freekibble.com , so you can feed dogs and cats !

Awesome! I will for sure tell my blog readers and Twitter followers about this too. The more we can all do for our furry friends, the better.

Go rescues!

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
