Zootoo.com - the pet lover's website - announces its newest program, the Zootoo to the Rescue Sweepstakes. First prize in the sweepstakes is $10,000. The runner-up will win $3,000 and 13 other Rescue Groups will win $1,000 each.

"Zootoo.com recognizes that many Rescue Groups are under funded, and the Zootoo to the Rescue Sweepstakes is a chance for Rescue Groups to win badly-needed cash," said Richard Thompson. Zootoo.com founder. "To participate, Rescue Groups must create a profile on Zootoo.com and tell pet lovers in their community how their rescue group helps animals. For every Rescue Group supporter who joins, uploads a profile picture and writes a review, that Rescue Group will receive one sweepstakes entry. The more entries each Rescue Group gets, the better its chances of winning. But, every Rescue Group in America will be a winner," Thompson said, "because the sweepstakes will call attention to the wonderful work they do."

"Rescue Groups are small, and most of them do not have an official facility," said Dr. Jill Richardson, resident veterinarian at Zootoo.com. "Many Rescue Groups take homeless pets into their own homes until a permanent home can be found. They provide communities an invaluable service."
