Ever feel lost on how you could possibly do something to help the plight of homeless animals? With a busy schedule, limited funds, lack of “expertise” – what can you do? You love animals, care deeply for those waiting in shelters, wish that each and every one were no longer homeless… Got a minute?
You have the opportunity to make a big difference for these animals. In addition to all of their great efforts on behalf of animals, Care2, ASPCA and Adopt-a-Pet are sponsoring the America’s Favorite Shelter contest . With a single click of your mouse, you can vote for your own favorite organization.
The grand prize winner will receive $15,000; just imagine if you were able to donate, handing a check to your organization for that amount!!! Let’s call it virtual donating – if your organization wins, you will have contributed toward that check. That’s doing something to make quite a difference.
For pet rescues and shelters, a little money can go a long way. And a larger amount of money – well, that can translate into affording needed expensive medical procedures, adding or acquiring additional building space, programs for workers/volunteers and the community, or maybe even the chance to provide care for more homeless pets that otherwise would be killed.
Whether or not you already spend time/money/energy for the benefit of your local rescue, this month you have a simple way to provide something more for that rescue and a golden opportunity to help make the lives of homeless pets better. Vote.
Go to America’s Favorite Shelter contest; enter your zip code, choose your favorite shelter.
If you don’t have a favorite, please vote for the rescue I’ve worked with since 2005 and can personally vouch for: Almost Home Foundation, 6009. If you do, please take credit for it – let me know in the comments!!
Make a difference.

Vicky, Paw Print City Times says
Great post. I’ll have to put something up for a couple of local shelters who are in the running (but not if no one knows about it).

We can’t vote from here but wanted to wish you every success. xxx
CindyLu's Muse says
@Vicky – You should! You could be instrumental in helping them garner more funds. If they don’t know about it, but are already registered, they wouldn’t have to do a thing other than just let people know to vote.

@Schnauzer Days – Sorry, I know it’s only open to the states and Canada; but thank you very much for your wishes!!
