Totally NFR and if you think I should, I'll ask Mimi to delete this post.

We have a wonderful animal shelter in my area that is basically running on funds from bake sales,and spaghetti dinners. There is a contest to vote for your favorite animal shelter with the winner receiving $10000. Don't think it's possible but, because I know how many of you are animal lovers, I'm asking you take a minute and please cast your vote for the Ayres Animal Shelter in Montgomery County, NY.

I know this is probably an inappropriate post but they are really desparate for money.

Thanks, guys.

Hi Cyn - I just looked on the site and can't find Ayres shelter listed.

 

[cynupstateny]

On the right make sure it's New York State. Then find by name and it's at the bottom of the A's.

 

[meryl]

Okay, found it and voted.

Diane, how did you do that? I tried to vote for another one and it wouldn't let me

 

[dianncy1964]

I just clicked where it said what stated typed in AZ and looked for my shelter

 

[marsha-tbay]

I tried again, it still won't let me, it recognizes my computer and thanks me for voting.

You'll probably have to now use another email address or wait 24 hours

I just voted. All of the animals that I have adopted have been from the shelter here in MO...

or my latest was from a rescue.
My stepdaughter worked for the shelter for two years, and her stories of all of the animals that were put down, well, I have to adopt from the shelter or a rescue from now on. She put down so many cats and dogs. It was horrible. They do their best, but if no one is adopting, they run out of room. It is so sad. In the past I have bought purebred pugs, standard poodles, golden retrievers, all breeds that I love, but I won't be doing it again. Take a visit to your shelter or Humane Society next time before you buy a purebred. You will find a pup, dog, kitten, or cat that you will love, and needs a home.

It's under the city of Spraker, in case anyone was having trouble as I was ;o)

 

[dawnnys]

But I do have a question - what is the "friends" number after each person's name?

 

[dianncy1964]

It means how many friends you emailed to MyCare2 site when you voted

 

[cheezz]

Voted!

 

[marsha-tbay]

Would you like to hear the miracle story of how my cat was saved?
