FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 4, 2011

Support your favorite local shelter and help the Seattle Humane Society win $100,000 through the ASPCA $100k Challenge! The first leg of the contest ends April 15 and you can vote every day. On April 15, the animal shelters with the most votes will move on to phase two of the challenge and closer to the $100k grand prize.

VOTE NOW for the Seattle Humane Society at:

What would we do with $100,000? The Seattle Humane Society vet clinic provides medical care to thousands of animals every year. Our shleter and public spay/neuter surgeries are routinely limited due to recovery cage space - particularly for the larger dogs. Our veterinary staff does an incredible job with the space they have. With $100,000 we could improve our clinic, make more pets adoptable, and perform more low-fee spay/neuter surgeries for pets in our community.

Every vote can make a big difference – so vote today and every day through April 15. Tell your friends and family to vote too! Share it via email, Facebook, Twitter, or your personal blog and website and help the Seattle Humane Society do more for the animals than ever before.

What’s next? If we are a finalist, we move onto the next round where our goal is to save 300 more animals from August to October of 2011, than we saved during the same period in 2010. It’s all about saving more lives- and with the community's help, we can do it!
