LOXAHATCHEE - Zootoo.com, a MySpace for pets, is offering up to a $1 million makeover to one lucky charity and for months it was looking like Pure Thoughts Horse and Foal Rescue of Loxhatchee would be considered.
However, with five days left in the contest Pure Thoughts is struggling to regain their top 20 ranking, which is needed to move on to the next portion of the competition.
Each charity is ranked based on the amount of points they accumulate. The top 20 shelters that have earned the most points by March 13 will receive a visit by Zootoo. Zootoo will then pick the top 10, America will vote, and the winner will receive a makeover worth up to $1 million. However, all of the top 20 shelters will receive at least $10,000.
Charities accumulate points by having friends of the charity sign up to Zootoo, which is free, and use the features on the site such as uploading photos. Just by registering with Zootoo an individual's charity of choice will receive points.
At one point Pure Thoughts had been ranked No. 13. Recently though they fell to 22. This past weekend there was signs of hope for the charity when they moved back in to the top 20. Today though they are ranked 21 and is 20,000 points behind the next charity, New Fairfield Sherman Animal Welfare Society of New Fairfield, Conn.
