The Animal Rescue League needs your help to secure a $25,000 contest price from animal lover, celebrity chef and talk host Rachael Ray.
The shelter, located in East Liberty, is an “Open Door” facility which means it accepts all animals that need to be sheltered. The competition is the Rachel Ray ASPCA $100k Challenge and ARL is currently in the lead for the contest’s Community Engagement Award which is decided by the number of votes an agency receives on Facebook. The winner will receive $25,000
Currently ARL is in the number one spot and voting expires at Midnight tonight. They have fewer than 1,000 votes more than the Humane Society of Central Washington in Yakima, Wa. And since Washington is three hours behind Pittsburgh you can vote now while they’re still sleeping. You can cast your vote on the contest’s Facebook page.
And just to play on your sympathies to make you go vote, here’s a picture of “Chuck,” a little Chow Chow ready for adoption at the ARL. Chuck wants a new home and the $25K:

Facebook page link is broke…

Glad to help!
I had trouble voting with Google chrome. Try a different browser…worked fine in Firefox.
I thought I fixed the link. I will check again to make sure.
I just checked the links. They should be working now. Thanks

Click the > arrow next to the word votes.
Click GO next to The Animal Rescue League Shelter and Wildlife Center.
Last Step – now click VOTE.
I would gladly vote and help out but I don’t do facebook and never will. So unless there is another way to vote you lost my vote and I am sure a lot of others.
“I don’t have a Facebook account, how can I vote?”
“You can sign up for a Facebook account for free. Sorry, but you can only vote with a Facebook account so that we can ensure accuracy of votes.”
This is a JOKE! When one person can have multiple accounts voting is in no way accurate! Until the ASPCA figures this out, my donations to them will now stay in my checking account.
