Thanks Snogger
My little story about BB Moby. He and several siblings were at a shelter in Alabama during the bad tornadoes 3 years ago. I'm reminded of it because of the bad events from last night and more likely today. Due to the damage in the area the shelter there had to be shut down. An urgent appeal was put out and our little local shelter up here in Va took in 20 of their pups/dogs. A great program called pilots-n-paws flew them from airport to airport to airport. They arrived after closing but I was there late working on who knows what, probably doing yard work. I had recently lost my best bud Halo and really wasn't looking for another dog but when I saw him I knew he was the one but I figured I'd give it a week, give others a chance at adoption. A week later he was the last one of the puppies/his siblings left. So as fate would have it he became an addition to the family and he's been awesome.

donate?
the best way to get funds to a nonprofit is directly.I wish a few of the groups in this particular contest could win while there's others that shouldn't (IMO) be listed but fortunately are way behind. This is only one opportunity for the groups to get some funds. This one leads into the big day on the 6th. The 6th is "giving day" and winning there is based on actual donations made. I'll be doing (another) donation then but certainly wouldn't be asking anyone else to do so. A friend is doing a fund raiser for the shelter in June where she'll be swimming around the Florida Keys. That's a pretty long swim.
It's been a somewhat tough year for the shelter financially so hopefully this and the swim event will help a little.

This is one of the animals that funding has helped. Frootloops came in with bad "cherry eyes" in both eyes and with corrective surgery she was finally free of the discomfort and more adoptable. need a final day push
We're in first and the finish line is close. One group is making a hard push to overtake us though. Almost there!

Thanks. I think we can do this. Obviously hoping for more great things tomorrow (but won't be asking for help here on that since it's real $) but this one is an easy one and we have the lead for now so hoping we can hold it for another 16 hours.
