You Can Click to Help CHAT of Wakulla Win Up to $25,000

dog at keyboard 200.gifFrom now until Dec. 14, The Animal Rescue Site (www.theanimalrescuesite.com ) is giving away $100,000 in grants to participating Petfinder member shelter and rescue groups.

CHAT of Wakulla is encouraging friends to click to help rescued animals on The Animal Rescue Site, and then to vote every day for their favorite participating rescue organization in the $100,000 Shelter+ Challenge.  Clicking and voting is free for site visitors, but the right number of votes can mean as much as $25,000 for the winning shelter.  Weekly prizes of $1,000 are also available.

Any funds awarded would be used for an expansion of the adoption center, to increase adoptions and lower euthanasia rates in our county.

Vote tallies will be updated regularly, and visitors to The Animal Rescue Site (www.theanimalrescuesite.com ) can check on their favorite shelter’s tallies throughout the Challenge.

How The Shelter+ Challenge Works

{sidebar id=1}Visitors to The Animal Rescue Site, www.theanimalrescuesite.com , can vote for their favorite animal welfare organization in the United States or Canada every day from Sept. 29 through Dec. 14.  Weekly prizes of $1,000 will be distributed during the Challenge.  Final prizes range from $1,000 to the grand prize, a $25,000 grant.

Visitors will not be asked to contribute anything but their time, first to “Click to Give” at The Animal Rescue Site and then to vote for their favorite Petfinder rescue organization.

Weekly awards of $1,000 will be given to the rescue organization with the most votes accumulated during each week.  On December 15, The Animal Rescue Site will announce the winners of the final prizes. One $1,000 grant will be awarded to the organization with the highest number of votes in each state, as well as Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico (52 prizes), and two $1,000 winners will be awarded to organizations in Canada. The runner-up for total number of votes during the Challenge will receive a $10,000 grant, and the grand prize winner will receive a $25,000 grant.

More on The Animal Rescue Site and Click to Give™ Program

cat-on-keyboard 200.gifSince 2002, The Animal Rescue Site has provided funding to animal rescue charities through three important channels:  the company’s innovative Click to Give™ program, direct donations through such site programs as Gifts That Give More™, and contributions paid for by items sold through The Animal Rescue Site’s store.

Petfinder.com Foundation, the Fund for Animals, and the North Shore Animal League are all beneficiaries of the Animal Rescue Site’s Click to Give™ program.

The Click to Give™ program allows visitors to The Animal Rescue Site to provide food and care for a rescued animal living in a shelter or sanctuary by simply clicking on the purple button located at the top of the homepage (www.theanimalrescuesite.com).  The Click to Give™ program is paid for by site sponsors, and 100% of sponsor ad revenue goes directly to support the work of the charities listed on the site.  In 2007, clicks on The Animal Rescue Site funded the value of more than 42 million bowls of food for animals in need.

The totals of the 2008 Click to Give™ program are posted on The Animal Rescue Site’s results page and are updated daily.

The Animal Rescue Site is part of the GreaterGood Network of websites.  To learn more, visit www.theaimalrescuesite.com or www.greatergood.org .
