The wonderful Humane Society of Huron Valley, the rescue and shelter for all of Washtenaw County (this one), is in a contest to win a badly-needed new van in Toyota's "100 Cars for Good" contest. Here's what it says on their website (at http://hshv.convio.net/site/MessageViewer?em_id=3321.0&printer_friendly=1):

Help HSHV Win a New Van on August 6th
We're competing in Toyota's 100 Cars for Good contest. Toyota is giving away 100 cars in 100 days to nonprofits that could use a new set of wheels. Our video will be up against four other (non-local) charities on August 6th and the video with the most votes wins the vehicle. If we win, our Cruelty and Rescue department will get a brand new van, which is badly needed.
You can learn more about the contest (and vote on August 6th) at http://www.facebook.com/toyota. Sign up for a reminder to vote at http://hshv.convio.net/toyota.

Please do take a look at the video and vote for them on August 6! And this week Gretchen has posted another story, in Cat General, about a wonderful rescue there: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=168742
You have to be on Facebook in order to vote. I'm not, and as I e-mailed the HSHV, while I would do almost anything to help you win that truck, I will NOT join Facebook! So they suggested I ask people I know who do use it to vote for them.. And of course I thought of all you Pet Talkers right away.
I volunteer at the HSHV, and I just LOVE the place. While they are the official county shelter and must take in every animal that is brought there, they have got a fantastic adoption program and rarely if ever have to euthanize healthy animals! They'll do things like set up cages in the hallways if they get really full. They really go the extra mile, as these videos show so well.
Thank you for taking a look and hopefully helping them win this van! God bless.
