Thank you - and congratulations to you for the work everyone did to make your shelter a winner for the pets who are living there. It really is too bad there isn't someway that everyone shelter in the country could win.....if only I had a magic lantern.

Thank you and we will do our best to make everyone proud that shares our passion and commitment...........................Dennis

That is so true. I'm a convert to Barron County, from Eau Claire and have never been so impressed as I have since I joined this effort. What a bunch of dedicated and hard working people this group is. I'm proud for my small contribution to their cause (and now MY cause) Everyone's a winner here, I hope they all realize it.

Marnie, without your heart and soul, WCHS wouldn't be the Great shelter it is today. (which probably ruled us out of the winning) But we are a winner. Because you made it that way. I'm still so psyched that a total of $1,245,000.00 is being shared between 20 shelters: all the wonderful animals and future animals that will be helped. ZooToo. It's all worthwhile.

Thanks for the upbeat journal entry. I've been reading too many journals from other shelters that sound a little like sour grapes.

I just found out that ZooToo never paid one red cent to Stray Rescue of St. Louis, the supposed winners of the contest. It was all just a scam to gain publicity for the site and their advertisers.

I am totally heartbroken!
