Shelby is running for President (#Shelby2016) but she needs your votes now in another contest, the

Best in Shelter and Sanctuary contest!

Created in 2011 by mystery writer Martha Grimes, Best in Shelter, is a nonprofit organization created to encourage pet adoption from local shelters and rescue organizations. In 2012, Best in Shelter celebrated dog adoption with its first online pet adoption competition. In 2014, it followed with a virtual cat show.

“In the present competition, we are shifting focus and turning what we hope is the same bright beam on the conditions of farm animals,” said Martha Grimes.

If Animal Place wins Best in Shelter & Sanctuary, we will use the prize money to add to our Rescue Fund, which will be used specifically to liberate animals from cruelty and provide them lifelong care.

If we win Favorite Farm Animal (#Shelby), we will use the money to build a second cow shelter to keep the cows dry and warm in the winter!
