BELLEVUE, Wash.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Dogpile.com (NASDAQ:INSP) 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, the search engine announced today. 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 these tough economic times, pet charities need all the help they can get," said Stacy Ybarra, senior director of corporate giving. "We're glad to be able to offer our users an easy way to donate to a good cause without having to pull out their wallets."

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.

"The ASPCA is thrilled that the pet community has responded so positively to this program," said ASPCA President and CEO Ed Sayres. "The contributions raised for us through Dogpile's commendable efforts will enable us to further our mission and help countless animals in need."
