I am new here and my friend who has been posting about the pepsi project asked me to come here and talk about ARF of MS and why we need the grant so badly.
we are in the largest county in mississippi with the highest number of animal control pick ups. within 5 days of animal control pick up the animals are pts. 98 percent of what is picked up is dead on friday morning at 10:30 each week. they put down over 30,000 each of dogs and cats many of whom are someones pet who has somehow ended up on the wrong side of the law.
besides the pets there is an abundance of stray animals in our state. a majority of people don't care about stray animals and they look the other way when they see the stray walking down the road, head hanging, cold, dirty, scared, hungry. We stop. we rescue, we rehabilitate, we give medical care, we find homes. currently we have over 300 dogs and 100 cats in our care. it costs us over 250,000 a year to operate. 95% of our donations goes directly to animal care and housing. no board member is paid a salary. please, take 30 seconds to vote on the pepsi challange for our project. it is totally a popularity contest. he who has the most votes wins. we are up against some strong projects with larger audience than we, this is so important, your votes cost you nothing, but your gift of 30 seconds can change lives
