By now, most of you have probably voted for your favorite shelter in my sidebar. The shelter with the most votes at the end of the month will be the one I support as a Petties Best Blog Post finalist and they will also get a ChipIn Widget on my blog’s sidebar for the month of August. If you want to know who is winning now, you can go to the poll and click “View Results.” If your shelter is not winning, then get your friends to come over and vote! And if your favorite shelter is winning, don’t be a slacker — keep those votes coming! And remember, if you want the shelter I support to win the $1000 dollar prize, you have to keep voting for me every day in the Petties until July 31!
I just found out another way your favorite shelter can win some money: Purina One beyOnd and GOOD have partnered for the “Shine a Light on a Shelter” challenge, in which one shelter will get a $10,000 grant! They want to help shelter pets overcome the stigma of being “damaged goods” (you know and I know that’s a bogus myth, but amazingly — and sadly — there humans out there who believe it). So they want you to come to the Shine A Light On a Shelter website and nominate your favorite shelter by explaining how it makes the world a better place. Nominations will be accepted until noon Pacific Time on July 30. A panel of judges will pick the top 40 submissions and from August 6 to August 20, the public gets to vote! If your shelter is the winner, you win too — you get a year’s supply of Purina One beyOnd and a year’s subscription to GOOD magazine.
Make your shelter stand out! You can include a photo or a video to represent your shelter (adopted shelter kitties, this is your chance to be a star!). Make note of awesome things your shelter does that make it different from the rest. Take some time to think about what you want to say, and then submit your shelter here at the Shine A Light On a Shelter website.
Good luck to your shelter — both here and in the Shine A Light on a Shelter challenge!

Wow, what a terrific thing for Purina to do! We’ll have to check this out.
Thanks, SParkle, for letting us know!
We is voting for you, Sparkle!! If Aggie and Wally and Madie’s Dad was not so technologically challenged he would too, MOL! XOXOXO
We are going to let our shelter know about the Purina challenge. Thanks!
Keep up the good work. It’s so nice of you to seek assistance from others to choose a shelter.
That’s so nice and smart of you to ask us to choose the shelter!
I hope you win because you deserve it!

There looks to be a very clear cut winner!
But that is good.
We know that all of these rescues do a fabulous job, as you do Sparkle.

We are voting for you every day.
I kinda gave up on the sidebar thing. I don’t have 76 furrends—ha ha—and niether do the peeps. I’ll continue to vote for the Petties though.
Thanks for telling us another way to help out shelters Sparkle! We’ll check it out!
Yay to more opportunties to provide help for the shelters. I’ve been voting and purrsuaded Mom to use outside computers for you to win another pettie.
Thanks for the info Sparkle, we will keep the votes coming in.
Shelter cats are lucky to have you Sparkle
I think our shelter is already talking about that! We are always excited to help them any way we can.
You always pass on such great information to help others!…Happy week ahead, sweet friends…xoxo…Calle, Halle, Sukki
Damanged goods? Whatever happen to one human’s trash is another human’s treasure. Obviously, theses human not shop at Goodwill or other second hand shops either.
yep!!! We posted about Purina on June 28 and shared as well!!! Best of luck to all who have entered!
We voted again. And mom is gonna have to check out the Purina thingie and nominate the rescue that is helping Bourbon and Amaretto….not many shelters would be willing to take on these babies and give them every chance. Thanks for letting us know…
Thanks for the info Sparkle, the shelter I came from sure could use some help, so I will have to ask Miss Mandie to go to that website to sign us up. Some kitties like me get to go to furr-ever homes, but for most of the FeLV+ and FIV kitties, the sanctuary is the only home that they will know, so we want it to be nice for them.
Continued good luck in the Petties!

Is this US only? Our mom will check to see. There seems to be lots of good stuff happening south of our border! Not sure about here, we don’t hear about it as much.
Thanks for this info and I understand it better now. We want very much to do this and will start working on it. That sounds like a great deal.
Thanks for that info, Sparkle. We’ll hafta get our mom to work on nominating one of our favorite shelters.
You do such good work for the woofies and kitties of the world, my dear. *cuddle*
