The other day I happened upon a blog titled 'Under the blanket' that published a wonderful entry featuring JoeysCoat. Delighted with the kind "shout out" I wanted to learn more about it. Turns out that the blog is a facet of the company, BlanketID; a company whose inspiration was brought about by visits to animal rescue's and shelter's, in search of a "special friend" to adopt.
In their words:
"We were touched by what we had seen, and a big idea took shape; an ID tag that would hold details online and never be out of date, together with a simple system that could immediately alert shelters, pounds, animal control, SPCA and any other local members with details and a photo of a missing pet.
Then, we made it even better; we added tools to print your own lost posters and flyers, GPS mapping of where pets were reported found and even the option to report your pet as Stolen (it happens more often than you think!).
Then we put the idea to work. By adding a small annual fee to the tag (less than $1 per month), we created a way for everyone to give a little back. We even provide a way for our members to choose which organization they would like their support to go to.
Thanks to our fantastic members, over the last three years we have been able to help over 100 organizations that make the world a better place."
