Holiday Shelter Challenge: Help Us Play Santa With $90K In Cash & Prizes

Happy Pawlidays! At the Animal Rescue Site, we love sharing stories about animals who’ve been rescued and adopted. Your generous support has helped us give these shelter pets a second chance at life. This holiday season we’re giving away more than $90,000 in cash and prizes to the shelters and rescue groups with the most votes in the Happy Pawlidays Challenge! Will you help your favorite shelter compete for the $14,000 Grand Prize pack?

Your steady support through clicking and shopping to give as well has inspired us to add a new way for you help save shelter pets’ lives. We’re excited to announce that now, your votes at the Animal Rescue Site’s Shelter Challenge not only help your favorite shelter to compete for valuable cash and prizes, they also generate the value of 20 pieces of kibble every time you vote. And best of all, just like at The Animal Rescue Site, it’s free to you!
