Donate!

In honor of Yoshi's first birthday we have decided to put up some links to Yoshi-approved charaties. Yoshi feels blessed to have a loving home with lots of toys and treats. His favorite gift to-date was the adoption of his little brother, Mieko, from a rescue organization. Yoshi would love for you to donate to an animal rescue organization in honor of his birthday. Hopefully more dogs in need will find loving homes.

Many of the organizations below accept either a tax deductible cash donation, or they have merchandise available for purchase (profits go to rescue). So if you aren't comfortable just donating cash please buy a calendar or something. :)
