a friend of mine could really use your vote! One of my friends & her sister run a no-kill animal shelter in Missouri (dogs, cats, horses, etc.--even a llama). These women & their father literally built the place from the ground up with their bare hands. It's a beautiful haven, where the animals are the number one priority; but the building suffered damage in the recent storms, and money is very scarce. There is currently a contest to award funding to small (as in local) animal shelters. My friends & I would be very grateful if you would click on the link below to vote for "The Buckhawk Center" in Mountain View, Missouri. Unless you have multiple logons &/or computers, you can only vote once, so be sure to pass this along. Voting ends January 31. http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/75857 Doc Zoe Wynsum http://wynsumgsd.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
