Some of the sanctuary's supporters alerted us a couple of days ago to a new contest for animal shelters held by the organizations Care 2 and Adopt-a-Pet.com. We signed up and are now participating. Called "America's Favorite Animal Shelter," the shelter getting the most votes will win $10,000. Second place wins $3,000 and 3rd place wins $1,000. And there's also a random $1,000 prize each week for 5 weeks. In addition, the top 20 "recruiters" who get the most friends to vote for their favorite shelter will win $50 gift certificates for pet products.
You can vote for the sanctuary by clicking here to go directly to our page on the contest site.
Unlike some of the other online contests, this one is simple ... you don't have to create an account and they don't ask for birth dates or any other extraneous information, so it's fast and easy.
Thank you!
P.S. Margaret urges you to ask all your family and friends to cast their votes for the ranch, too!
Well if cute Margaret says to vote, I'll have to. I heart Margaret too and my vote has already been cast

Please tell Margaret I voted and that I think she's so cute I'd even let her nibble on my shoe laces.

I tried to vote, but it won't let me. It just keeps telling me to fix the areas in red, and the area in red is where you have to click on a dog or a cat. I'll try again later...

Done! I was afraid the system wouldn't accept a foreign zip code, but fortunately it did.
Buona fortuna!

Sorry! Unless Margaret can lend me her zipcode, I won´t be able to vote for you...I´ll keep my fingers crossed though, hope that helps! (by the way, I like their safe guard `pick the dog-frog-something´, haha)

I just cast my vote! And I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog. We lost our sweet German Shepherd to cancer three months ago, and in some way I can't quite explain in words, your stories here have helped my grieving for her. I love to read about your special animals & the joy they find in their new lives there. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful work you do with them & I hope you find yourselves blessed each day in the midst of that work.
