The Photo Book Projects : Animal Rescue in America & Deaf Dog Rescue

PETFINDER
I'm thrilled to say Petfinder.com has decided to run a contest to help promote the dog photo books. Aren't they wonderful! For those of you who don't know them, Petfinder is a website that provides a central location for shelters and rescues to promote their available pets. When you are looking for your next friend to adopt, you simply need to visit the Petfinder home page to search for all available pets in your area. I have also added Petfinder's widget to my blog to help promote available pets around the country who are looking for their forever homes. If you have a website or blog, you should consider adding one, too.

SO WHAT'S THE CONTEST & HOW CAN YOU WIN?

(Click here for samples of my dog photography.) 

To enter the contest, all you have to do is comment on any Petfinder blog post between Sept. 23 and Oct. 23, 2009. Make sure you add the hashtag "#photobook" at the end of your comment in order to be entered in the contest. Please be sure to include a valid e-mail address when you post your comment (it will not be seen by the public). One comment per e-mail per day will be counted, so comment often!

As much as I'd like to visit Hawaii some day soon, the contest is not open to individuals living outside of the 48 states. Please note that the selected rescue pet will NOT appear in The Photo Book Project photo books, but will receive a one-hour session in their home town with me to take place between Oct. 23rd, 2009 and January 1st, 2010. The selected commenter will receive two 5"x5" and two 8"x8" photo prints of their pet.  At the end of the specified time, a commenter will be selected by www.random.org.

So, do it!  Go now to Petfinder's post about the dog photo books and comment on the blog! Go now, and go often! One comment per day per person is permitted, so you can enter every day from now until October 23rd. I hope you win!  And PLEASE - tell your friends.  The whole idea behind the photo books is to raise awareness and that can't be done if only a handful of people know about the books. The more people who know about the projects, the more we can help raise awareness for shelter dogs and deaf dogs. Tell people. Save some animals.  Save some lives!

Thanks as always, for your continued support of the projects. Sadie, my deaf rescue dog, thanks you!  :)
