THANK YOU!!!


Hurray! We did it!
We made the finals of the AVIVA community fund contest.
Thank you so much to everyone who voted - the support was awesome!
Now the finalist ideas go to the AVIVA group of judges, and winners will be announced January 25th... fingers crossed!

Today is also the last day to get your requests in for Project Jessie Christmas adoption packages. If you were planning on ordering one for that "hard to gift" person on your list, you can phone the office at 416-462-9541 or email Lia (lia@animalalliance.ca)

And while we don't recommend giving pets as gifts, if you are having a quiet holiday and were thinking of adopting a new friend for yourself, please remember that Project Jessie has many lovely animals looking for permanent homes right now. Perhaps you can find a perfect new friend to share the holidays with? Feel free to email me and I will be happy to chat with you about the creatures we have and whether there is a potential match.

Thanks everyone! And a safe and happy holiday to you and your families!
Shelly and crew

Please Help Project Jessie win $25,000


Come on guys - I know we can do it!
We keep hovering between 10th and 11th place. It would be much better for my nerves if we could be hovering around 5th or 6th place... :o)

As you know, Project Jessie has submitted one of the Ideas in the AVIVA Community Fund competition.
Thanks to you - Project Jessie has made the finals!

The final round of public voting started December 2nd and runs to Dec.15

We need to make it into the top 10 small ideas (out of 30 finalists)to get our chance at $25,000 Thank you SO MUCH for your help! We are facing some stiff competition.

You do need to register once, and create your own password for their site. Every email address that registers, even if it is a free account like Hotmail or Live, is allowed to vote once each day.

Please help us out, and please pass along to your email list of friends and family. If there is anyone that you know is voting but isn't on this list, let me know at shelly@animalalliance.ca and I would be happy to add them so that they get a daily reminder.

While you are on the idea page, please check out the new slideshow. You may recognize a PJ dog or cat - maybe one you adopted. :o)

It would mean a great deal to the animals if we won!
Thank you for voting!!!

"In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we will never hear. They are not brethern, they are not underlings, they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth." ***Henry Beston (1888-1968)
