Mimi Launched freekibble on April 01, 2008. On May 14, she delivered her first round (April’s donations - see video) of kibble to the Humane Society of Central Oregon: 240 lbs. and enough to feed 456 dogs for one day! Since then and as of February 02, 2012, freekibble and freekibblekat, have raised over 970,000 lbs. (485 tons!!!) of kibble.
Freekibble now feeds many 1,000's of dogs and cats in shelters, rescues and through food-banks across the country - EVERYDAY! (see list).
How can I help donate more free kibble?Spread the word! The more people that play Bow Wow Trivia, the more kibble we can donate. So, the more people you share freekibble.com with, the more food for the dogs. Email friends, family, office mates... spread the kibble word and play every day!
If I miss a day, will it mess up my donations for the next time?No, every day you answer the Bow Wow Trivia question (right or wrong), we will donate 10 pieces of kibble. However, the more consistent you are, the more kibble we can donate. To make it easier to remember, you can make freekibble.com your home page!
Why 10 pieces of free kibble per answer?After lots of thought and calculations, this is the amount of high quality kibble we can guaranty supplying based on our current level of sponsor support. If we’re able to generate additional sponsorship for more kibble, we’ll increase this amount. 10 pieces is also an easy # to track...
Who pays for the donated kibble?We're very happy to say that we're partnering with our Official Kibble Sponsor, Halo, Purely for Pets, to feed these hungry dogs and cats the highest quality, all natural kibble - a very decent dinner! Thank you Halo!
Why only one trivia question per day?We want to keep it fresh and interesting - and we want you to come back and play Bow Wow Trivia often... even every day. Also, we don’t want to get people in trouble at their work for playing Bow Wow Trivia all day long...
Does playing Bow Wow Trivia help me in other ways?Yes, aside from helping to feed hungry dogs, you’ll learn a lot of fun and interesting things about dogs along the way.
Are there banners I can use to link to freekibble.com?Yes, you can click here for a freekibble.com banner.
Who distributes the donated kibble?At the end of each month, Mimi will personally deliver all the free kibble to the HSCO. We will be working with Halo to distribute the kibble to all the other animal shelters we plan on assisting.
Will the kibble I donate make a difference?Yes, yes, yes. Every time you play it makes a difference. Animal shelters are in need of all the help they can get from their communities and supplying good, healthy dog food is hugely beneficial. Every 10 pieces of kibble counts!
What else can I do to help?
Call or email your local animal shelter. They can give you any number of ways to help, from volunteering time, donating money or supplies... and of course adopting a dog. You can also click here to get more information on animal shelters in your area, http://www.adoptapet.com.
