With a click a day, you can help us win this grant!!!

Hi everyone. There's a very cool grant opportunity through "The Animal Rescue Site" for small rescue groups like ours. Each year they do a contest and the grand prize is a $25,000 grant to the rescue group who ends up with the most votes. For a start up group like ours this would be a dream come true! Do you know how many little spotted dogs we could rescue with $25,000!!!

Anyhow, we need you to go to the Website each day through December 14th and vote for New Rattitude. You don't have to register or give any information. All you have to do is link to the contest page, type in New Rattitude in the "Shelter Name" line, and for state, choose Georgia (that's where NR is incorporated.) This will bring up New Rattitude with a button at the end that says "Vote". Click on that. Then, to make sure that some computer geek hasn't found a way to hack into the contest, they will show a picture of an animal and you have to type in the name of the animal (all lower case letters) and click to confirm your vote. It's really quite simple and by just taking a few minutes each day you could help out a lot of dogs.
Right now we are in 33rd place nationwide, but it's only been 2 days. The voting runs through December 14th and you can vote (on each computer in your house) daily. Second place is $10,000 and if we are number 1 in the state of Georgia we win $1,000. Right now we are 2nd place in Georgia! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssse take time to do this each day. Spread the word and tell your friends. If everyone takes just a little time we can win this thing! Just look at the photos of the sweet doggy faces in my blog and multiply that by hundreds. That's who you'd be helping!
