News & Polls

1. from Tara B. - I found a site called SurveyMonkey where you sign up to take online surveys (most are about new products, some are opinion surveys) and for each survey you complete they will donate 50 cents to charity.  How many surveys you have the opportunity to take will depend on the profile you fill out when joining - for example if you don't have children you won't receive most surveys about children's products - but if your profile makes you eligible for a wide variety of surveys the money will add up fast.  And if it doesn't, well, every little bit still counts! I ask you to sign up and take surveys in support of either Petfinder or RedRover.  Most surveys will only take a minute or two to complete.
