America’s Favorite Animal Shelter Contest
The ASPCA is teaming up with Care2.com and Adopt-a-Pet.com to find America’s Favorite Shelter. All you have to do is vote and tell all your friends to vote, too__and your local shelter could receive some much-needed cash ($15,000!) to perform its amazing work.
What could your local shelter accomplish with an extra $15,000? Trick question! Animal shelters across the nation badly need funds, especially in the wake of the economic recession—so there’s no “extra” about it. That’s why the ASPCA is teaming up with Care2.com and Adopt-a-Pet.com for the America’s Favorite Animal Shelter contest!
The contest, now in its fourth year, helps bring shelters the hope and help they need to accomplish amazing feats for homeless animals. There are three prizes your favorite shelter could win: the $500 prize awarded weekly to one random shelter participating in the contest, the $3,000 third prize, the $7,000 second prize or (drum roll, please) the big $15,000 first place prize!
So, how can you help? Easy: Visit Care2.com/animalsheltercontest, find your favorite shelter, and vote! You can only vote once, so make it count! (And make sure you read the full contest rules, too.)
Post flyers, use social networks and email, tell everyone you know to vote, and you could help your shelter rocket to the top of the pile. And if you recruit tons of friends to vote, there’s a little something in it for your pets, too! The top 20 recruiters get a $50 gift card for pet supplies.
