'Save A Dog' Teams Up With Local Restaurants

Aug. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- SUDBURY, MA - Homeless animals in MA and across the country get help from Save a Dog, Inc - and now Save A Dog, Inc. is getting help from RestaurantsGiveBack.com, a  charitable giving program of the Independent Restaurant Marketing Association.

This highly localized program leverages the power of group coupons, social networking and mobile marketing to help Save A Dog, Inc. raise funds.  Supporters are asked to purchase a 'Dining Passbook' - good at one of several local participating restaurants. Each Passbook is only $20 and provides savings of well over $250 in dining deals including free dinners, free lunches, free drinks and more.

Unlike popular group coupons programs, Dining Passbook Mobile Apps provide multiple chances to save money over an entire year for one low price.

This unique new online fundraising program will be available soon at http://www.restaurantsgiveback.com/saveadog

“Through this wonderful partnership with Save A Dog, Inc., I hope we inspire animal loving restaurant-goers to open their hearts to support what they are doing” said John Griffith, co-founder of the Independent Restaurant Marketing Association. “This type of organization is exactly why the RestaurantsGiveBack.com program was created – local charities being helped by local restaurants in a mutually beneficial partnership.”

Restaurants Give Back (http://www.RestaurantsGiveBack.com) is a service of the Independent Restaurant Marketing Association. This free program connects local non-profit organizations and local restaurants in a unique way by providing a year round fundraising source for non-profits and a business building opportunity for local restaurants, all at the same time.

Save A Dog, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based humane society whose focus is abandoned dogs. We take in local dogs of all breeds, sizes, and shapes who have become homeless for one reason or another. We work with animal shelters in MA as well as out of state. With over 8.6 million pets being euthanized each year, we try to maximize the number of dogs we can save at once, so we work with several high volume shelters and humane societies in rural parts of the south and in WV where dogs die in large numbers. Save A Dog is a registered 501c3 nonprofit.
