Help my shelter win 25k for free spay and neuter?

[vera_renczi]

If my local no-kill shelter makes it into the top 10 of this challenge, we could provide approximately 450 low income residents with free spay and neuter for their pets to help end the outrageous number of animals being euthanized here in West Virginia. You can vote once daily and the voting ends on Feb. 28th. Help us out and then help your community out by registering your ideas!

Refresh Everything.

The Paws-itive Solution is aimed at providing spay/neuter assistance for low-income pet owners in our area. In the state of West Virginia, 75% of all animals entering shelters are killed. The problem of animal overpopulation strains the capability of municipal shelters, which are charged with animal control, not necessarily animal care. Little Victories is a no-kill shelter located in Cabell County. Each year, our county's shelter euthanizes approximately 7,000 animals. Our state and county are traditionally home to low-income people. They live in rural areas and have “farm dogs” and cats that have multiple litters, year after year. Our group spays/neuters all pets that we take in, and our county is home to one low-cost spay/neuter clinic, but it's not enough. A $25,000 grant could make a huge impact on the animal overpopulation in our area and prevent needless euthanization of animals.

Yep. It's an easy way to help prevent the need for drowning kittens.

Vera: You might want to give us a progress report or whatever every day, to keep the thread on the New Posts board until Feb 28th. Good luck!

I agree with this guy! Were not just getting 450 pets fixed here, but all the pets of 450 families. Let's see if this works: http://www.refresheverything.com/wwwlittlevictoriesorg

Note that this initiative is still ranked 22nd. We all have to vote every day and outlast the rest.

P.S. Purely for scientific purposes, I tried voting twice and found (surprise) that I could not. You may be luckier!

We made it to 21st yesterday but we slipped back down to 22nd today. Keep voting please!!

[PhilinYuma]

Well, we're still in 21st place, but we still have a long way to go! I voted early(ish) this morning and then again just now, just in case the first one didn't take!

 

[vera_renczi]

Also "purely for scientific purposes" I made 3 accounts with Pepsi... one for me, one for hubby, and one with my alternate "junk mail" email address. I voted 3 times today, and will continue to do so until the voting ends. All you need to do is sign up with a different email address (maybe one that you don't use that often or use for signing in to things that might give you junk mail). Log out, log back in with alternate email address... and vote again! Ok... maybe I am "cheating" a little. But I justify it to help a cause I personally think much of; and to help a fellow member and friend to hopefully achieve this goal.
