Great Idea!

I think you have to nominate an animal and not a person. (Although, some people could be considered animals.

)

You are sooooooo right Vinnie!!! I'll be going on thier website today to see what the rules are and how I go about doing this. Gee I can think of several wonderful people that have done soooo much to help our dogs-they really do deserve the credit!!!

Actually, I was wrong. You do nominate a person (not animal). I checked their site and it says, "Show Your Thanks by Nominating Someone Who Helps Animals"

Here's a link to the rules so you don't have to search.

thanks Vinnie....I was just looking over the link now.. Wouldn't it be great if one of our rescues won!!!!

The people that saved Fresno should be nominated. That's about as good as it gets for a rescue story.

 

[shilohsmom]

Thats a great idea too!!!! Maybe you could nominate them

I'm looking through old posts on here and the www and trying to figure out where to start.

 

[shilohsmom]

just want to bump this up again. This is a great opportunity for us to take a chance and nominate our Rescues. Humm...I wonder if I can make this part of my signature so everyone who sees my posts on the Urgent boards will see it????

 

[shilohsmom]

yes!!! it worked!!!

My recommendation for a hero: but I don't have Joanne's full name to do so...

I am the ultimate foster failure. Of all the dogs I have ever take in (all rescues from shelters or slated for euthanasia for other reasons) I have only ever had one leave me, for what turned out to be a perfect forever home.

I have 5 rescues in my house at the moment. All came with baggage, some adopted within hours of being euthanised. Do I have a perfectly behaved household - err nope - they all bark at strangers going past the house, training takes a long time, and my king size bed is considered fair game. Is it worth it - oh yes, I would never consider getting a puppy from a breeder, give me a "reject" any day - no dog is beyond hope.

I may not be able to change the world, but hope that I can make a difference in the lives of the few individuals I am honoured to share my life with.

I believe it is ShannonT who pulled Ruthie and Grace. Definite nomination there!!

There are so many others here who on a daily basis step up for the dogs.

I remember Ruthie and Grace- what a sad story and pictures when I first seen them. I was new here at that time, and was in shock by what I seen.

I'm waiting for approval from somebody so I can submit her.

If I get the OK I'd like to solicit help in writing her 250 word nomination statement. Anybody be willing to help with that??
