The June "Blogger for a Cause" is Biscuit’s Blog. This blog is actually the official blog for the British Columbia SPCA, and its goal is to raise awareness of and provide treatment for injured homeless and wild animals. They do this primarily through the BC SPCA Biscuit Fund. And it all started with…well, Biscuit. That’s him over there on the right. Cute, huh?!
Here’s a little history about how the blog got started:
“Biscuit” was a stray, wandering the streets when he was repeatedly stabbed by an unknown person and left for dead. The small dog managed to pull himself half-dead into a nearby garage, where he was found by a family and rushed to a veterinarian.
Biscuit was transferred to the BCSPCA, where he was nursed back to health in a safe, nurturing environment. Despite his ordeal, Biscuit harbours no grudges. He is friendly and gentle, and thriving in the care of his new loving family!
We created the Biscuit Fund to help care for many other sick and injured homeless animals like Biscuit.
Almost everyone can identify with the love of animals, even if one doesn’t have a pet. So when I recently ran across this "Best Charity Blog" at BloggersChoiceAwards.com (like how I found last month’s blog) I knew I’d found my June feature.
The blog posts on "Biscuit’s Blog" are told from the perspective(s) of the animals in need, and this is one of the reasons the blog was selected to be featured this month. It’s a very creative, touching way to position a sensitive subject.
Here’s a screenshot of the current homepage of the site. To see more click here.
Don’t forget that if you know of a blogger who uses their blog as a platform to raise awareness about a certain topic or issue, you can share it with us. Simply send us the url of the blog and why you think they should be featured to charity[at]izea[dot]com. While you’re at it, why not nominate them for a Blogger’s Choice Award?
