New York, NY (1888PressRelease) June 04, 2012 - Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue, Inc. (AACSR) dba NY Abandoned Angels Rescue, a Queens-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and re-homing of Cocker Spaniels and other dog breeds in need of loving forever homes, has partnered with SocialPakt to help raise awareness and funds for local dogs in need. Between June 11th and June 24th, SocialPakt, a social startup company that brings together socially conscious consumers and artists in support of causes, will feature a t-shirt designed by Jeremy Pruitt and inspired by Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue, Inc.'s work. Each t-shirt sale will spark a six dollar donation to Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue, Inc. which will be used towards the care of 60+ dogs currently in their rescue.

"Many of the dogs in our rescue take daily medication or are waiting for medical procedures, so we're very excited about the possibility of raising money with the help of SocialPakt," said Dolores Rodrigues, founder, Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue, Inc. "The money donated from this t-shirt sale will not only help pay for the medical care of our dogs, but it will also go towards our other monthly costs including dog food and flea and heartworm preventative."

In addition to donating a portion of the proceeds generated from the sale, SocialPakt will also promote Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue, Inc.'s mission through various traditional and social media channels.

"We're thrilled to support such a worthy organization like Abandoned Angels," said Bailey Schroeder, co-founder and CEO of SocialPakt. "Our objective is to help advance the goals of each non-profit organization with whom we partner and the work that local animal rescues are doing is so important to the community."

The specially designed Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue t-shirt which features a parti-colored Cocker Spaniel will be available for sale on www.SocialPakt.com from June 11th thru June 24th.

Donations of any amount to the rescue continue to be graciously accepted and appreciated by PayPal via the rescue's website at www.nyabandonedangels.com, or by check mailed to Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue, P.O. Box 545426, Flushing, NY 11354. All donations are tax-deductible.
