All has been quiet on the rescue front recently, thank Heaven, haven't had any desparate "please take this bunny" calls for a while now. There is one thing I am going to also post in the general forum, though, it has to do with more shelters/rescues than just mine.
I don't know how many of you know of the Animal Rescue Site, where you can go to click the purple button and donate food to shelter animals every day. Anyway, the Animal Rescue Site, in partnership with Petfinder.com, is holding a challenge, where people can go to vote for their favorite shelter or rescue. Here is a little more info from my daily email reminder:
"Dear Supporter,
Your friendly Tuesday reminder from The Animal Rescue Site:
Make a difference today!
Click on the purple button at The Animal Rescue Site and
give food to an animal living in a shelter or sanctuary
--at no cost to you.
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/tpc/ERA_093008_ARS
COME AND CLICK, THEN VOTE!
-- Help your local shelter win $25,000. --
The Animal Rescue Site $100,000 Shelter+ Challenge - brought
to you by Petfinder has begun, and your favorite eligible
shelter or rescue organization needs your vote. Vote once
every day, right after you click to fund food for animals in
need. Look for the red "Vote Now!" at the top of the next
page:
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/tpc/ERA_100108_100KChallenge
Weekly prizes of $1,000 will be distributed, plus grants
galore at the end of the Challenge on December 15th,
including the Grand Prize of $25,000. The number of votes
determines who wins, so vote now and every day until then!"
You don't have to register, and there is no fee of any kind. Just click. So come on people, pick your favorite shelter and vote, vote, vote! You can vote once every day, so if you want to you could even vote for a different shelter every day. (Yours Truly is on the Illinois list, BTW. :biggrin2
