This Michigan no-kill rabbit shelter is a finalist in a shelter makeover contest, but they still need more votes!
By Haley Hanna, volunteer for Midwest Rabbit RescueI'm a volunteer with Midwest Rabbit Rescue and Rehome located in Pymouth, MI. Midwest houses over 150 rabbits at the shelter and many more in foster care. We are a no-kill facility and take in domestic rabbits who have been set free, are scheduled to be euthanized, or are owner surrenders. We take in rabbits not only in MIchigan but in many surrounding areas. You can see more by clicking
here.
We are currently a finalist in a shelter makeover contest through
Zootoo.com. The top twenty shelters will win and from within those twenty, a panel will choose one to receive a million dollar makeover; the second place shelter will receive $10,000, and the other eighteen shelters will win $5000. Out of around a thousand shelters Midwest is ranked #14. We are the only rabbit rescue that is in the running for the makeover.
The contest ends March 31, 2008 and we are trying to reach out to any organizations who might be able to help us sustain this place in the contest. Even the $5000 would make a world of difference to us and the bunnies. We are trying to get people to sign up and help our shelter by visiting
http://www.zootoo.com/ and when it asks for the zip code for the shelter makeover put in the zip code 48170 and choose Midwest from the list. We get 100 points for every person that signs up and validates their account. We get even more if people review their favorite products and post pictures or videos of their pets using those products.
