Dogpile.com has reached the $250,000 mark just two months into its goal of raising $1 million through the end of 2009 for pets in need. Since the launch of its Search & Rescue campaign the company has received an overwhelming response from pet lovers around the world.

Search & Rescue is a creative online philanthropy program designed to aid pets in need by donating a portion of the revenue generated from Internet searches conducted on Dogpile.com to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and other animal-related charities.

In addition to searching on Dogpile.com directly, a search engine that pools results from all major search engines, consumers can help raise funds and awareness by downloading a Search & Rescue toolbar or by inviting a friend to help out through the Dogpile Search & Rescue Facebook application.
