The Pawz Cauze

On May 1, dog Chiclet and Jan Rasmussen are going to give a matching gift of $10,000 (and two anonymous donors are adding $25,000) to the Rabies Challenge Fund. I know people are passionate about their work to extend the period between rabies vaccinations, and ultimately to set up an adverse effects reporting system, and generally make the vaccine safer.  Here’s their press release: http://www.prweb.com/releases/rabies/vaccine/prweb906004.htm 

Chiclet T Dog has also produced a fun slideshow video about the vaccine: Dog Rabid About Rabies Vaccine Dangers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pQHQw-5XCw 

It’s short, lively, informative and even fun … considering. Important: please watch the video on YouTube, not from the release.  We need as many people as possible to watch it, rate it (hopefully with 5 stars), “favorite” it, make positive comments–and forward it and embed it on websites and blogs.  As you know, if the video gets lots of play, and lots of people Favorite it and Bookmark it, YouTube will promote it and the word about the vaccine will spread fast. Here is information about Jan Rassmusen:

Hi Everyone,

I have a wonderful guest on the show tonight.  He is a true hero through and through!  He’s been shot 3 times (at least) and stabbed 11 times all because he is willing to risk his life to stop pit bull fighting rings. 

Here is incredible story LIVE tonight at www.blogtalkradio.com/thepawzcauze

You can also call in to ask questions.  The number is on the web site as well as the time the show airs in your time zone!  We will also have our chat room going so you can ask questions that way too!  So check it out and we hope to “see” you in the audience!
