a call-to-action for help for all pet lovers

As some may know and while others may not know, since June 2004 I have been a regular volunteer at the local animal shelter in my hometown, the Central Aroostook Humane Society.

Recently I discovered there is a promotional fundraiser for animal shelter facilities nationwide in a contest competition. The grandprize, as well as other prizes, are funds for "shelter makeover". the grand prize? Nearly (up to) a million dollar makeover at the shelter facility!

WOW!

The CAHS shelter that I volunteer at may be not as large as other facilities, but they do a good service for the area. With all the homeless and unwanted animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and other critters in the area, CAHS works expertly and professionally and with love and compassion for every single animal's well-being in hopes of placing it in a new and warm and loving home.

So what I am asking of anyone who may read this blog, is to please support CAHS in this event.

Simply log onto http://www.zootoo.com/. Register on the site - IT's FREE!!!. You can add pictures of yourself, and add your pets to your profile too. Don't worry, if you don't have any pets thats fine. Then after getting your profile set up, there is an option for selecting a shelter. Where you can enter in a zipcode please enter 04769 and then select the shelter named "Central Aroostook Humane Society" among the results for the zip. After that it's easy. You can comment on news articles, rate and review animal/pet products and services, and more.

The more you do the more points you accumulate. And the more points that you accumulate it helps support the shelter. The top shelters will receive the monetary prizes at the conclusion of the competition, which I believe is in March 2008, or so.

So please log on and help support CAHS. The more points we can achieve, the greater chance for success we will have in possibly winning one of the top spots and money of a undetermined yet amount for renovation and upgrades to the shelter!

All the homeless pets will thank you.

I will thank you.

Four of my pet cats will thank you - as 2 were adopted from a shelter downstate, and 2 were adopted right here at CAHS in Presque Isle, Maine. And I know Whiskers and Sylvester would just love to know that you did something to help their friends back at the CAHS be able to have a wonderful shelter to stay at as they wait for a new loving home.

Please log onto http://www.zootoo.com/ and register and select CAHS (after entering in zipcode of 04769).

Thank you.
