NEW YORK — In honor of National Pet Month, RedTube has pledged to help homeless dogs with the launch of its "Thank Dogs for Doggy Style" campaign.
The adult video sharing platform will donate one cent for every 1000 videos viewed between May 31 and Jun. 30. All proceeds will go to Dallas Pets Alive (DPA), a Dallas-based nonprofit organization dedicated to saving the lives of dogs in need by promoting and providing the resources, education and programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals.
"To help us save and give thanks to the real pioneers of doggy style, arguably one of the best sex positions and perhaps the reason many of us exist today, we're launching of our 'Thank Dogs for Doggy Style' campaign,'" said Alex Taylor, vice president of RedTube. "Through the campaign and the great ongoing work by our campaign partner, we will create awareness of and provide resources for programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals. To participate, take a page out of our four-legged friend's playbook and stay and enjoy the videos and roll over when done, all for a good cause."
RedTube, which a spokesperson said "receives more than 20 million visits to its site each day," anticipates raising thousands of dollars through the campaign.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with RedTube to raise awareness and bring resources to those saving companion animals in the Northern Texas area," said Carla Eboli, head of DPA's communications committee. "When you adopt a pet from a shelter or other rescue organization, you're giving that animal a second chance and saving a life. I encourage everybody to please visit RedTube as often as possible during the campaign to help us raise as much as possible."
DPA is run entirely by volunteers, and all of its pets are housed by dedicated foster families throughout North Texas. They focus on helping the healthy and treatable pets, which are at risk of euthanasia at Dallas Animal Services, by rescuing the pets at greatest risk and providing support to owners who are having problems and need to surrender their pets to a shelter.
On average, 2.7 million animals are euthanized in the nation's shelters each year, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
RedTube, founded in 2007, is described as "one of the leading online destinations for people seeking free, streaming adult videos."
