Thank you so much Great Bread Harvest Company!
Hi!
I’m Mandy. The person who takes care of me, Sue, has entered me in The Humane Society of the United States’ and Humane Society International’s Spay Day Online Pet Photo Contest.
Now I need your vote to help me win some cool prizes — and to help me raise critical funds for spaying and neutering to control pet overpopulation. Go here to vote for me by making a small donation to my sponsored charity, which is Acadiana Humane Society!
To celebrate the 15th annual Spay Day on February 24, 2009, The Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International are telling everyone how spaying and neutering improves pets’ lives. In addition to making pets better, more affectionate companions, spaying and neutering helps animals live longer and healthier.
To enter the photo contest, my foster Mom submitted this picture and wrote a few nice words about me. The rest is up to you: This is one contest in which you can “buy” votes — and that’s exactly what I’m asking you to do. In this contest, every US $1 you donate in my name both supports spay/neuter and awards me one vote in the contest! If I finish in the top 500, I’ll win some sweet prizes.
I’d appreciate your vote and donation today, but if you’d like to enter your own pet in the contest, then please do—I can handle some friendly competition! And if you want to stay on top of how I am doing in the contest, visit the Search Pets page and search for me by name.
You can now also find me on Facebook! You can share my entry with your family and friends — on Facebook.
Enter your pet in the contest and donate to vote today. You may enter the contest until 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 27, 2009; voting ends at midnight, Eastern Time, on March 6, 2009.
Sincerely,
Mandy
Please go to Great Harvest Bread Company on 854A Kaliste Saloom Road Lafayette, Louisiana 70508 (337) 236-896 and vote for Acadiana Humane Society as the next BAKER FOR THE DAY!
Customers can vote for the charity/non-profit group that they would most like to see run the bakery and receive the money. Great Harvest Bread Co. will donate all ingredients and labor. ALL CASH TAKEN IN—not a percentage of the profits—will go to the winning group on Sunday, March 29. Acadiana Humane Society is the only animal rescue on the ballot. Please go to the store, now through March 7th and cast your ballot for the animals!
Why does Acadiana Humane Society want your vote?
Acadiana Humane Society is a no-kill animal rescue and foster home system. We take in homeless, abandoned, owner surrendered, and animal control rescued cats, dogs, and other animals. We vet them and adopt them out through Petco, Petsmart, Petfinder, and our website.
Acadiana Humane Society plans to use part of the proceeds to pay off our current vet bill. We will also put 25% of all money raised into our Spay/Neuter Fund to help low income families alter their pets. Some of the money raised will go into our Shelter Fund to help us finish construction of our hurricane safe animal shelter.
Every Vote Counts! Help us become the next Baker For The Day!
Acadiana Humane Society will be participating in the Krewe des Chiens 11th Annual Mardi Gras Dog Parade on Saturday, February 14, 2009. The parade will start rolling in downtown Lafayette at 2PM. The Krewe des Chiens is a large fundraiser for all local animal rescues. Please come out and support Acadiana Humane Society and other area animal rescues!
We are currently collecting donations of Mardi Gras beads and other non-edible throws that our volunteers can throw out to the parade goers. Linda at Bridge Storage on Ambassador Caffery has been kind enough to be a drop off point for donations to our animal rescue. If you have any Mardi Gras beads, stuffed animals, or other non-edible throws to donate, please stop by Bridge Storage on Ambassador Caffery and look for our donation box there. If you would like a tax donation receipt, please leave either your buisness card, or your information with Linda, and we will mail one out to you.
You may also drop off donations of cat & dog food, as well as pet food for small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, cockatiels, etc.), litter boxes, litter scoops, cat litter, dog & cat toys, dog & cat treats, hand held brooms and dustpans, Advantage, Frontline, pet carriers, wire crates, small animal bedding, and other pet supplies that you think we can use for our foster animals. To see a specific list of soome of our needed items, please check out our needs page on our website.
We are also looking for volunteers who would like to walk in the parade with us. We need two adults to carry our banner, four adults to help with security, a few adults to walk adoptable dogs, and adults and supervised children to pull wagons and throw beads. Please contact Sue via email if you can help with the parade.
