Posted by Karen R. (Borgieskid) in Shelter Makeover
As our shelter made it through the finals of the zootoo million dollar makeover contest, I emailed all my friends and asked them to email their friends too. To my amazement, many "friends of friends of friends" signed up and voted for the Humane Society of the Nature Coast. I also belong to three different forums online and I posted … read more

Ant piles in yard, safe way to get rid of them?

I live in Florida and we have zillions of ants--I've found Amdro works the best out of any brand. You sprinkle it around the mound and the workers feed the queen and the whole mound dies in about 4 or… read more

To those who are questioning zootoo because last years winner made misleading statements, this comes from a joint press release by zootoo and last years winner:
"Joint Statement of Zootoo and Stray Rescue
April 22, 2009
Zootoo and Stray Rescue of St. Louis share the same goal: to do what is best for animals that are in the need of care, shelters and adoption. For these animals, we are pleased to announce that an agreement was reached today that will allow Zootoo and Stray Rescue to move forward. Today’s agreement completes Zootoo’s commitment to Stray Rescue. Zootoo was delighted to assist Stray Rescue in this endeavor.
Stray Rescue Corrects Misunderstandings
Upon learning more about the sponsorship funds that were associated with the Zootoo Shelter Makeover, Stray Rescue realizes that it did not have the full facts at its disposal when two statements were made. The Pedigree Foundation grant associated with the Zootoo Shelter Makeover Program was and remains part of the value delivered by Zootoo. Stray Rescue believed that this $250,000 was not part of the makeover award.
Therefore, the following statements should be corrected. “Stray Rescue founder Randy Grim said Wednesday his group wired Zootoo.com $170,000 of its own money. . . .” appeared in an April 8, 2009 Associated Press story.
The second statement, from an April 12, 2009, USA Today article, “Grim says he has wired Zootoo about $129,000 since November to pay for much of the work so far. . . .”
Once Stray Rescue had all of the facts, it realized that funds mentioned in the statements were part of the value delivered by Zootoo to Stray Rescue. Also, no funds were wired from Stray Rescue to Zootoo. Stray Rescue wired what it now understands to be sponsorship makeover grant funds to a title company in charge of disbursing funds for the makeover.
We are pleased that we have put this matter behind us and have reached an agreement to move forward with our shelter makeover. We regret any hardship this may have caused Zootoo or any of its sponsors or our supporters."
Needless to say, this negative press at the last minute cost our little shelter a lot of votes and local publicity.
