I would expect that many of our forum members know that I am heavily involved with Maltese (dog) Rescue. I am asking for help from the members. This will not cost anything and is definitely NOT A SCAM...

Please help our American Maltese Rescue. Our rescue organization rescues Maltese from hellish puppy mill conditions, from high-kill shelters and provides a means for Maltese owners who cannot keep their pets to find safe loving homes for these animals.

Judy and Richard Crowe, alone, have had over fostered over thirty Maltese during 2010, including 18 puppies who were born into freedom from mothers that have been rescued from those terrible puppy mills. These adult Maltese and puppies are now living in their “furever” homes with families who love them.

There is a voting contest which, if we get the most votes, will earn our organization cash awards. One hundred percent of our money goes to medical expenses for sick and abused Maltese who have been rescued and for the neutering and spaying of Maltese who will be adopted. All transportation costs and food for these rescued Maltese are born by the individual volunteer members who are involved in the rescue.

This is NOT A SCAM, rather a legitimate contest aimed at getting rescue organizations into the public notice.
