Help for the Puppies!

Eight years ago, the absolute BEST dog in the world came to live with me. Life has led me down a lot of crazy paths since the fateful day that I adopted her, but she's been by my side all of the way -- and I cannot imagine life without her. When I adopted her from the Pratt County Humane Society in Pratt, Kansas, it wasn't a very pretty place, but I can say with great certainty that ALL of the animals there were very well cared for and loved deeply by the manager. They also did, and still do, their damnedest to be a no-kill shelter.

So, what does all of that have to do with anything? Well, the puppies need your help! Shelters all across the United States are competing to see who can earn the most Internet votes. The winner receives a $20,000 grant! Tess' former home is one of the shelters in the competition for this grant.

Here's where I need your help -- GO VOTE! It is FREE and will be extremely valuable to the shelters who receive grants. Click here to cast your vote.

I would love for you to support the Pratt County Humane Society, but if you prefer, vote for a shelter in your area or one with which you are affiliated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Tess thanks you, and even more importantly, the homeless dogs and cats thank you, too!!!
