America's Favorite Animal Shelter Contest Updates

Congratulations to our first America's Favorite Animal Shelter contest weekly winner, A Wish for Animals in Dana Point, CA!

A Wish for Animals is a nonprofit, no-kill animal rescue "run solely by volunteers who dedicate their time and resources to rescuing homeless pets from animal shelters who are often moments away from being euthanized." Here's why Nicole R. supports A Wish for Animals: "AWFA rescued a dog from death row at my request. I thought I would just be the foster, but fell in love. Now we have a permanent addition to the family who makes us smile everyday. Thank you AWFA!"

The America's Favorite Animal Shelter contest, sponsored by Care2 and Adopt-a-Pet.com, is a chance for animal lovers everywhere to raise awareness of the need to adopt shelter and rescue animals while helping their favorite shelter win a much-needed donation.

Care2 has partnered with Adopt-a-Pet.com for two previous contests, and we've already donated over $50,000 to animal shelters and rescue groups across the U.S. and Canada.

Congratulations to our two previous grand prize winners, Independent Animal Rescue, Inc. of Durham, NC and Saint John Animal Rescue League of Saint John, New Brunswick.
