An American Success Story: Max Chosen As Spokes-Canine for LeThrift

A few years ago Max's world was tumbled upside down. His owners would no longer cope with a highly energetic six month old dog.

Their solution was to do what many Americans do, and to throw away something that is still useful but unwanted.

They left Max at the local animal pound. There he awaited an end similar to the estimated unwanted 3 to 4 million cats and dogs that are destroyed annually at animal shelters.

If no one saved him he would be yet another discarded animal dumped in a sanitary landfill along with bottles and cans and clothing and other things humans no longer wanted.

Max's store had a happy ending. Orphan's of the Storm (www.orphansofthestorm.org) a no kill animal shelter located in Lincolnshire, IL rescued Max.

Subsequently Max was adopted by his current owners. Now he spends a productive life retrieving discarded litter so it can be recycled.

Max knows from first hand experience how good it is to be recycled rather than cast out. That is why he is happy LeThrift (www.lethrift.com) has asked him to be their spokes-canine.

He loves to show is litter retrieving ways to people because Max knows how important it is to raise the consciousness of wasteful humans.

LeThrift is a web site where used and new designer and brand name clothes that were no longer wanted are sold instead of discarded.

Max 's experience makes him a big proponent of recycling. He encourages the reuse or recycling of anything from dogs to clothes. As LeThrift's spokes-canine Max will write for its blog and appear on its web pages helping website visitors retrieve good values.

LeThrift's founder, who is a single working mom believes that Max's dedication to retrieving discarded bottles and cans so they can be recycled is  testimony to Max  putting his mouth where his bark is.

The parallel between Max and LeThrift is both retrieve items that others don't want.

Christine says, "What Max retrieves is recycled and what LeThrift retrieves is sold and reused. In both cases that means we are doing something to reduce the flow of things to the landfills and extending use of goods that were manufactured.

Dogs, cats, clothes, bottles, cans, and countless of other unwanted things are cast aside each year by people who are part of the Great American Throw Away Culture. Don't be part of that culture.

Do what Max the anti litter lab spokes-canine for LeThrift says, "Think before you toss! Make sure you reuse and recycle! It will make you feel better."
