And the winner is… Plus, Be the Change!

The random-number generator picked….

Shauna from Fido and Wino! And the shelter Shauna linked to was http://victoriapets.ca/.

Congratulations, Shauna! Send an email to info{at}maggiemarton{dot}com with your address, and I’ll get your prize – a 60-day supply of Teddy’s Pride –  sent along!

I’m sorry I didn’t have enough to giveaway to all the fabulous commenters who shared some link love for their favorite shelters and rescues. However, Teddy’s Pride sent along a coupon for anyone interested in purchasing oral probiotics for your dog or cat.

The inspiration behind the contest was the “Be the Change” session from BlogPaws. But the do-gooding doesn’t stop with this one giveaway! So many dogs like Emmett and Lucas and like many of your dogs (and cats, too!) are stuck in shelters waiting for their forever homes. It sounds cliche, but the reality is, every single one of us can make a difference and be the change for an animal. Here are two more things you can do to Be the Change:

1. Put it on your calendar: Let’s all get together and pawty on Twitter for a good cause! Join us on Twitter on April 21 from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. EST and tweet with the hashtag #blogpawty.

2. The #BetheChange campaign selected Pets without Parents as the charity of choice, and they’ve created a nifty little widget to help us all donate to the cause. Every little bit makes a huge difference in the lives of these animals.

Any other ideas, thoughts, or inspiration on how to be the change?
