Shelter Makeover

Here's your opportunity to help the animal shelter of your choice win a "makeover" worth up to a million dollars! Zootoo.com is sponsoring its second pet shelter makeover contest and the winner will be decided upon a number of factors, including public votes from America.

The makeover program is open to any animal shelter that is located within one of the fifty United States, is an actual "bricks and mortar" business establishment that actively facilitates pet adoptions on a regular basis and is a registered 501 (c)(3) non profit organization.

The shelter must register with Zootoo.com to participate. Shelters earn points when their respective supporters also register on zootoo.com. Points are accrued in various ways and all the details are listed on the website.

The program producers at Zootoo will "tour" the top 20 shelters that are selected as semifinalists and then determine the 5 finalists. These finalists will be listed on the website and eligible for votes by the general public on which is the most deserving and in need of the makeover. This makeover can take the form of cash, services or in-kind contributions and can include things like remodeling, new computers and software and even food donations!

So alert your favorite animal shelter to the contest and start accumulating points! You can keep track of how your favorite shelter is doing on the website. And be sure to let me know if one of your nominees makes it to the finals!
