A New Year of Hope for Animals
By popular demand, it’s back and better than ever! Care2 is proud to announce our second America’s Favorite Animal Shelter contest: “A New Year of Hope for Animals.”
As the economic crisis worsens and pet abandonment rates grow, Care2 and Adopt-a-Pet.com are raising the stakes; Care2 will award $25,000 to 29 local animal rescue groups and shelters across the US and Canada. The top 20 vote-getting groups will win prizes, giving a greater number of deserving groups a chance to win, and every week a randomly-selected group will win a much-needed $500 prize.
Important note: Now, animal rescues and shelters in the U.S. AND Canada are eligible to win, including groups that help birds, rabbits, horses, and animals other than cats and dogs.
How the contest works
Anyone can visit Care2.com/animalsheltercontest and select their favorite animal shelter or rescue group. Then, you can tell neighbors and friends to do the same! The shelter or rescue group with the most votes wins $10,000.
In addition to the grand prize:
- Second and third place winners will each receive $1,000. The groups that place 4th through 20th will each win $500.
- Every week, a randomly selected participating group (five or more votes that week) will win $500.
- The 20 contest participants who recruit the most friends to vote for their favorite shelter will receive a $50 gift certificate for pet products as special thank-you gifts.
So, get started voting and spread the word!

How to get a group registered for the contest
All participating animal shelters and rescue groups are part of the Adopt-a-Pet.com network. If you want to support a shelter or rescue group that you do not currently see on our contest site, please have a representative of that organization register their group with Adopt-a-Pet.com here: adoptapet.com
It’s simple and approval only takes about 24 hours on average. So send your group’s representative to Adopt-a-Pet.com’s registration form. Once your favorite group has been added to the database, you can come back to vote!
