Cindy at Contests & Challenges has posted a contest with neat prizes AND...the best part is, the contest helps shelter pets!!
I've posted about this before, but it's definitely worth reiterating. Add an Animal Rescue Site widget to your sidebar, like the one you can see on the right hand of my site, and you are eligible to participate in Cindy's contest.
From Wildcatsthree:
I received word from a friend of mine who is a foster mom for Lil Paws Rescue that the Animal Rescue site is experiencing a low number of clicks, and therefore is not getting enough sponsor money to buy food for the rescued animals.
If you have a website or blog, and would like to help the Animal Rescue Site by displaying their clickable widget on your site, click here. Once on the page, look in the upper left corner for "Link to us." That will take you to the page where you can choose your widget, and get the code to paste into your template.
This is such a worthy cause. It costs you nothing, but can go a long way in helping feed the rescued animals until a permanent home is found for them.
Here are the guidelines for Cindy's contest:
"1.) Get the widget and place it on your blog or web page. (the instructions for doing this are in the italicized portion above) Added note: it does not matter if you've had the widget for ages- you can still leave a comment and be entered in the contest-every widget counts in helping the animals.
2.) Leave a comment on this post linking to your post and telling me that you've placed the widget on your page. Please, and this is important: include your e-mail address in your comment so I can reach you if you're the winner.
3.) This one's optional, but it would help spread the word. Write a post like the one I copied (above) from Wild Cats Three and include the appropriate links.
That's it. A winner will be selected randomly thirty one days from today (February 29th)from the list of comments.
The prize is twofold.
First the winner will receive this pin. It's all gold in color (camera made shadows) and that's a real pearl in its' paws.
and second, a donation of $20 worth of pet food will be given to our local chapter of the SPCA in the winners' name.
You may comment once daily throughout the contest for multiple chances at winning."
I receive daily emails about pets in need and information about how to help from a Yahoo group called Billyboard. Billyboard is an online message board devoted to helping pets at the Spalding County Animal Control facility in Griffin, Georgia. Occasionally, I get emails about really cool fundraisers, like the Guess My Breed Contest!
If you are interested in helping Georgia's pets in need, please consider joining the Billyboard group on Yahoo. It's as easy as clicking the button below and signing up with your Yahoo ID.

Ditty Dats and Dogs Rescue is sponsoring a Breed Identification Contest to raise funds for Trap-Neuter-Return projects in Berkeley County and Jefferson County, West Virginia.
Kelli was rescued as a stray in North Carolina, and happily, through the efforts of Ditty Dats and Dogs Rescue, she was adopted and is living happily with her forever family. As you can see from her photograph, it's anyone's guess as to what breed she is.
Well, her forever family has decided to quench their curiosity and have her genetically tested to determine what breed she is. The test will give up to three breeds, and the percentages of each.
Ditty Dats and Dogs Rescue is sponsoring a contest to see who can guess her breeds!
You can make one guess for a donation of $10.00, and you can make additional guesses for $5.00 each after the first. The person with the closest guess after the test results are in will receive half of the money raised. The other half will go to sponsor Trap-Neuter-Return projects. Click here to make your guess today!
