Tabitha, is there a specific rescue you'd like us to rally and vote for? I think last year a bulk of the voting went to TLC.

I give a ringing endorsement. For TLC, I mean. They do wonderful work, and nurse back to health ALOT of Chows and chow mixes, then manage to find them homes. I am sure they could use any and all support offered.
