It’s a great way for anyone in our community to help these forgotten animals in need with whatever sized donation they can afford.” Since both of Freddie’s organizations have such a large network of friends reaching across the nation, they are welcoming anyone outside of the San Diego area to join in on this great cause by donating directly to a shelter or rescue of their choice near their home. By simply taking a picture of the act of donating at the facility and sending that picture via email or Direct Message, the folks at Freddie’s Place will assure the person donating is recognized on all Freddie’s social media sites.
