Prize and other winnings to help animal shelter or rescue group bring more services and awareness to animals in need

International Doodle Owners Group Rescue Rehome Resources has the opportunity to win $10,000 with local community support in the “America’s Favorite Animal Shelter – A New Year of Hope for Animals” contest sponsored by Care2.com and Adopt-a-Pet.com. Voters’ favorite local animal shelter or rescue group will win the grand prize, which will go a long way to help International Doodle Owners Group Rescue Rehome Resources to save the lives of more dogs.

Care2.com, the largest online community of people passionate about making a difference, is hosting the contest with Adopt-a-Pet.com to bring public awareness about the plight of homeless animals over the holiday season, as well as recognize animal shelters and rescue groups for their outstanding efforts in animal welfare.

In addition to the grand prize, Care2 is awarding $1,000 each to the second and third runner-ups, and $500 each to the groups that come in fourth through twentieth in the contest. The winner of the contest is determined by its local citizens and supporters, who can vote for their shelter or group by going to http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/72466/?refer=9128.07.1232985331.4813. At this site, people can also invite their friends (via email) to vote for that same favorite shelter.
The contest aims to raise awareness about the importance of supporting pet adoptions and taking action to save homeless animals’ lives. All participating animal shelters and rescue groups, including International Doodle Owners Group Rescue Rehome Resources, are part of the Adopt-a-Pet.com network.
International Doodle Owners Group Rescue Rehome Resources has seen an increase in abandoned animals in the past year. The grand price of $10,000 would help International Doodle Owners Group Rescue Rehome Resources, to rescue more dogs, as well as bring in future donations.
“As we enter this holiday season and the economic crisis deepens, we commend groups, like International Doodle Owners Group Rescue Rehome Resources, which promote the need for pet adoption to save animals’ lives,” said Randy Paynter, CEO and founder of Care2. “We are excited to work with Adopt-a-Pet.com’s network of shelters and rescue groups to support a cause that really matters to our members and so many others – the welfare and adoption of animals.”
