Posted on: Jul 24th, 2013 | Announcements

Some say, ?A picture is worth a thousand words,? but we?re hoping that those words can be translated into LIKEs and PINs from the public. The Mobile County Animal Shelter is vying for a chance to win a Photo Contest sponsored by the ASPCA and Rachel Ray Challenge. Two of the county shelter photos are among the 40 finalists competing for a chance to win prizes ranging from $1,000 - $5,000. The public is invited to vote for the winners from July 23, 2013 (5pm ET) to August 5, 2013 (11:59pm ET) by liking and re-pinning their favorite photos. Winners will be determined by the number of likes (re-pins count as two likes). The board is NOW visible and the links are below: http://pinterest.com/pin/91972017363447234/ http://pinterest.com/pin/91972017363447171/ Winners will be announced on August 7, start voting TODAY! The shelter is also competing in the $100,000 challenge sponsored by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Rachel Ray. MCAS has a goal of 1,000 lives saved before August 31st and is asking the public to Opt-to-Adopt! Contest winners can earn anywhere from $5000 to $100,000 in grant money from the ASPCA. The county will use winnings to buy a transportation adoption trailer that will allow the county to travel and hold adoption events throughout Mobile County. Other projects would include upgrading the kennels and developing and implementing a microchip program for the shelter. #100K Challenge
