If you watched Ellen on Thursday, you saw her interview with Mimi Ausland, a 12-year old girl who started a website to help abandoned animals. After becoming concerned with the increasing number of pets without homes, Mimi created Free Kibble as a way to make a difference.

Mimi has been featured throughout the press, including the Today Show and numerous news outlets. However, it was her appearance on yesterday’s Ellen that may have proved most rewarding, as Halo and Ellen offered a huge contribution to Mimi’s cause. Ellen announced Halo’s donation of $20,000 of Halo natural pet food to the charity – that’s a lot of kibble!

When you visit Freekibble.com or Freekibblekat.com, you too can help out pets in shelters. Stop by either site, and you will have the opportunity to answer a trivia question; each time you do, sponsors donate 10 pieces of kibble to an animal shelter. It’s an easy way to help out needy pets every day – drop by often, and support this important cause!
