Below is a link to a Bissell contest that might give someone the chance
to win ten grand for SSMR Mastiff Rescue!
http://animal.discovery.com/sweepstakes/bissell/rules.html
Bissell is sponsoring a
humorous pet video contest with multiple winners of their new “pet
vacuum” and a Grand Prize winner of a $10,000 donation to a pet
charity of the winner’s choice (SSMR!) for the winning video.
How many videos to “make them laugh” could a Mastiff owner come up with
? SSMR could save a LOT of Mastiffs with that prize money! Think about
it….Mastiffs can be very goofy….
