Animal Rescue Site Challenge

Our dear friends at Smiling Dog Farms and Dogs on Death Row have asked us to help them win $10,000 for their shelter in Texas! Since we love all animals world-wide, we said OF COURSE!

The Animal Rescue Site is holding a competition to award funds to charities who get the most votes on their website. The charities with the most votes get awarded donations.

Romania Animal Rescue is asking you to vote every day for Smiling Dog Farms, based in Texas. To cast your vote:

1. Go to http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/shelterchallenge.faces .
2. Enter:
   • Smiling Dog Farms for the shelter name,
   • United States for the country, and
   • TX for the state (for Texas).
3. Click the Search button.
4. Click the Vote button for Smiling Dog Farms.
5. After you vote, you will be asked to identify a photo. When you correctly identify the animal, it will say your vote has been verified.
6. Come back tomorrow to vote again!

The last day to cast your vote is December 19, 2010, so please remember to vote each day until then. It is a great way to show your support for this no-kill shelter in Texas.

How long is the Challenge, and how can we increase our chances?

Voting begins on September 20, 2010, and ends at midnight (PST) on December 19, 2010. The more friends you can rally to vote for your favorite rescue organization, the better its chances of winning. Every vote, every day counts: Shelters can pull ahead even during the last few days with enough support. Get people involved! Ask your friends on Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn to vote for Smiling Dog Farms. In your announcement, you can link to this page for instructions:
