Some people have been confused by the process, so here it is step-by-step. It sounds more complicated than it really is. :o)
There will be a purple box in the middle of the screen. that says "Search and Vote for a Shelter"
The shelter name is "Project Jessie" and the country is "CAN" on the drop down menu. After you change the country, it take s a second and the "STATE" menu will change to "Prov", choose "ON" , the city is "Caledon"
Click on "SEARCH". Wait a second...
You get a new section underneath but inside the purple box that says the shlter name and has a button marked "VOTE"
Click "VOTE"
You are taken to a new screen where they show you a picture of an animal. You have to type the name of the animal in to confirm your vote. (So that clever people can't set up computer programs to vote for them all day long...) :o)
If you don't confirm your vote it will not count - so please be sure you have named the animal and pressed "enter" before you leave the site!
Once you have voted once, the same shelter name will come up every time you visit the site .
You can also sign up for daily email reminders.
Please ask family and friends to vote too! I don't think we have a hope of winning the big prize, but I am sure that we still have a good chance at one of the Canadian ones. Pass this message along and lets get clicking!
Also, by clicking on the purple button at The Animal Rescue Site, www.theanimalrescuesite.com you give food to an animal living in a shelter or sanctuary--at no cost to you. This only takes a few seconds. Please, click every day. To make this a breeze, you can select to have daily click reminders (left column under 'Free Ways to Help).
For your help, MANY thanks!

"In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we will never hear. They are not brethern, they are not underlings, they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth." ***Henry Beston (1888-1968)4
