Animal Rescue Site Contest Winners

You can vote daily for shelters you know, and they can win serious money for their mission... saving shelter pets. Visit the Animal Rescue site for the contest (new one to begin Jan. 10th) and the daily clicks-for-food-bowls ongoing program they have. I will put up the links when the contest begins again, but you can go to this link to click daily to give away a bowl of food to a shelter pet.

Winners for The Animal Rescue Site $100,000
