Please Vote: No More Homeless Pets

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

My friend Lil’ Chicka is a strong advocate of pet adoption and volunteers regularly with No More Homeless Pets in Utah.  She truly inspires me with her devotion to the cause and so I wanted to re-post an entry she recently wrote:

Hello faithful readers! Please take less than 10 seconds out of your busy days to vote for No More Homeless Pets on the rescuesite.com’s Shelter Challenge.

Go here, and then type in No More Homeless Pets in Utah- 1 click, and Voile! you’re done. No registration required.

Thanks for supporting our local awesome no kill program! We will receive a $20000 grant if we win.

I initially had a couple hiccups when trying to vote, but noticed that the shelter name should be “No More Homeless Pets” and the State needs to be Utah. (I was trying to enter “No More Homeless Pets in Utah” as the Shelter.)  If you did it correctly you will see the following box.

After that, just hit the “Vote” button.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks to Lil’ Chicka’s blog, I have been enlighted to the Best Friends Animal Society.  The Best Friend’s Animal Society is based in Kanab, Utah and is literally a sanctuary to animals, housing such animals as dogs, cats, horses, birds, pigs, etc.  BF is actively involved in saving animals from disaster areas such as Hurricane Katrina and war zones and currently has an adoption rate of 75%.  For those animals that are unadoptable or have high needs, they are guaranteed a safe haven for the rest of their lives.

If looking to adopt an animal or have the means to sponsor an animal, please consider going through the Best Friends Animal Society.

The Lil’ Chicka and her husband recently spent some time volunteering with Best Friends and has created a great series of post including an Overview and a List of Things to Do while visitng.  You can also see pics of her visit here.
