We have a favor to ask of all our furiends in the U.S. The local rescue group we support, P.A.W.S. of Michigan, is planning to open a low cost, high quality, high quantity spay/neuter clinic in our area sometime this year. In order to raise funds for this clinic, they’ve entered this idea in the Pepsi Refresh Project and hope to win a $50,000 grant.
What’s the Pepsi Refresh Project, you ask? Pepsi is looking for people, businesses and non-profits with ideas that will make a positive impact in our world. They’re giving away millions of dollars to fund these great ideas. Ideas are submitted to the Refresh Project and then everbuddy votes for the idea they think deserves funding. The highest vote-getting ideas will win a grant, with Pepsi awarding up to 32 grants a month!!
Did you know that every year, 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized in shelters across the country because there aren’t enough homes for all of them? High volume spay/neuter surgery is a proven solution for decreasing euthanasia and controlling pet overpopulation. If they win a grant, P.A.W.S. of Michigan will use the money towards opening a spay/neuter clinic in our area where, due to high euthanasia rates and the struggling economy, this clinic is needed more than ever.
Now here’s where we’re asking for your help. Please consider voting for P.A.W.S. of Michigan in their quest for a Pepsi Refresh Project grant.

What a great cause! Shame we can’t vote from the UK and shame that we don’t have a scheme like that in the UK too. Some of our charities do offer help to people with low incomes for spay/neuter but there’s no joined up action.
Best of luck to PAWS!

Too bad we Canadians can’t vote! Too bad Pepsi’s not doing this in Canada. Or, if they are, I haven’t heard of it.
The best of luck to PAWS!!!
Got my vote(s).
I’ve always been a Pepsi girl (it was founded in my home state of NC) now I’m really a Pepsi girl great cause,

This is such a great idea. I sure voted and will vote again. I think the best way to help the homeless animals is to spay and neuter every little dog and cat. I need to get going and have a fundraiser for the spay, neuter clinic here. Those people that volunteer at the clinics are so great.
Great idea! I hope they get it!
