Voting is underway and, say, you just found out that your candidate is a dog – or a cat, for that matter. What are you going to do?
Go ahead and vote anyway – for the Tallahassee-Leon County Animal Services Center. The local shelter is competing against other shelters across the country in the national $125,000 ASPCA Challenge. They can win grants one of two ways:
· By getting the most pets a new home with good families the TLCASC could win a $100,000 grant.
· Or it could get $25,000 by getting the most votes in a community engagement/awareness effort. Visit www.votetosavelives.org to vote.
As of midnight Wednesday, our shelter was in second place, slipping behind the Kansas Humane Society. To help, I voted for us twice this morning, one vote per e-mail address per day is allowed. Hey, dead people in Chicago helped elect John F. Kennedy president. It’s OK.
More important than voting, however, are the dogs and cats at the shelter. The TLCASC has set a goal of reaching 1,200 adoptions by the end of the month to try to win the top prize. But in any case, as of yesterday, TLCASC was 211 adoptions short of qualifying for a prize. We can do this!
