Dogpile search engine helps animals
(dogpile.com)

 

Dogpile is a great search engine that returns highly relevant results while helping animals at the same time (with no extra effort from you).

Actually a search engine aggregator or metasearch engine, Dogpile uses Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft Live Search, Ask.com, About, MIVA, LookSmart, and more to find your search results in one convenient place.  Even better news is that every time you use it, you are helping raise money to save animals.  The ultimate win-win for people and pets.  Let's not forget our unconditional-love-life-partners in this holiday season.

So not only does Dogpile gather the most relevant results from all of these search engines, it also does something great for animals in need.  Search on Dogpile.com and help rescue pets.  Here is their statement in their own words:  "We’re on a mission to help pets in need. Search the Web on Dogpile.com and we’ll donate a portion of revenue generated to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA®).* The more you search, the more we’ll rescue. It’s that simple. Our goal is to raise $1 million for pet rescue by the end of 2009."  As of this writing, they have already raised over 111,000 dollars.

On top of all of this, Dogpile was named top consumer search engine by J.D. Power & Associates for 2007.  A great deal of additional information is available on their site if you are curious.  In the mean time, why not make Dogpile your default search engine and do some good by doing what you already do every day anyway?
