Calling All Shelters, Rescue Groups, and Supporters to Zootoo!

Zootoo, the pet community website that brings pet lovers together to share information, connect with other pet lovers, and help animals, is serious about helping shelters and rescue groups do what they do best: save lives.

Richard Thompson, Zootoo's founder, is becoming one of the most recognized advocates for shelters and rescue groups in America. His support of the organizations and volunteers that daily are saving lives in communities coast to coast are helping those organizations win vital support within their communities, and opportunities to win cash prizes from Zootoo.

If you followed the exciting Zootoo Shelter Makeover Contest earlier this year, then you know that Zootoo awarded a $1 million makeover to the winning shelter, plus cash prizes to numerous other shelters (including two Mayor's Alliance Participating Organizations — Little Shelter and Bobbi & the Strays) for their efforts. And guess what? The second national Zootoo Shelter Makeover contest begins on September 18! For details, click here.

Right now, Zootoo has two exciting programs underway to support the animal rescue community.

Zootoo to the Rescue Sweepstakes

Zootoo to the Rescue Sweepstakes is offering cash prizes to 15 animal rescue groups. The grand prizewinner will receive $10,000; first runner-up will receive $3,000; and 13 second runners-up will each receive $1,000.

Zootoo Angels Program

Zootoo Angels Program gives shelters across the country the ability to recognize the pet professionals in their communities, including veterinarians, groomers, pet stores, and other pet professionals who are helping them in their efforts to save lives. Zootoo developed the Zootoo Angels program to recognize the generous commitment that these services give to shelters. Through the program, shelter managers have the ability to grant Zootoo Angel Status to businesses that provide free services to their shelter. To learn more about the program, click here.

We encourage you to visit Zootoo and join its efforts to support and strengthen the organizations that are dedicated to saving the lives of homeless animals in their communities. If you are a part of or support an animal rescue organization, then Zootoo is where you need to be!
