Horse Haven of Tennessee has the opportunity to win $10,000 with local community support in the “America’s Favorite Animal Shelter – A New Year of Hope for Animals” contest sponsored by Care2.com and Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Voters’ favorite local animal shelter or rescue group will win the grand prize, which will go a long way to help Horse Haven of Tennessee to purchase a much needed manure spreader and help with the rising cost for hay and feed supplies.

Care2.com, the largest online community of people passionate about making a difference, is hosting the contest with Adopt-a-Pet.com to bring public awareness about the plight of homeless animals, as well as recognize animal shelters and rescue groups for their outstanding efforts in animal welfare.

In addition to the grand prize, Care2 is awarding $1,000 each to the second and third runner-ups, and $500 each to the groups that come in fourth through twentieth in the contest. The winner of the contest is determined by its supporters, who can vote for their shelter or group by going to www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/76423.
