Vote for JoJo
From The Heart is honored to have one of its rescue dogs, JoJo, as one of ten national finalists in Purina Pro Plan Rally to Rescue’s Doing More for Pets Contest. This contest is one of many ways that Rally to Rescue promotes rescue and rescue events.
Your vote also would help shine a light into the dark plight of a misunderstood and frequently abused breed of dog. While the $5,000 (in free food) would surely help our rescue, more so, having JoJo introduced to the nation as the 2010 Rescue Dog would show what great dogs pitbulls can be, if only given love and a chance.
Here is her winning story … take a moment to read it and then please vote for JoJo.
