hi!
i have a favor to ask, its for a good cause and only takes one minute.
here is a bit of background without getting into too much detail. i wanted a new dog. i searched around and found a few shelters to check out. through my searching i have found there are big differences from place to place. i believe they all care, but some not as much as others. there were points where i couldnt even get a returned phone call or email which made it impossible to adopt a dog. when i got to a huge point of frustration i found duke and dixie online. they were at a shelter called magnificent mutts. i emailed and got a reply right away. i met them the next day and i knew i was going to take them. they judged me on my ability to take care of them, not on my children of bodom hoodie and stupid hair cut. later on duke developed cancer. i started him on chemotherapy but he was too sick. when he eventually passed away mary and her daughter drove an hour to meet us at the vet. it meant a lot because i was a mess. they didnt have to do that, thats how much they care.

so... there is a website that is giving a cash prize to the shelter with the most votes. all you have to do is go on and vote. its easy. they desperately need the money. they operate on donations and everyone associated is a volunteer. if they win a prize it will keep them operating longer, which means saving more dogs like duke and dixie.

i would have dixie type you a message but her and bailey are dancing to andrew wk in the next room. here is the link. dixie and i thank you!
