AAG Note: Earlier this year, the Georgia Heartland Humane Society entered a pet into the Humane Society of the United States Photo Contest for Spay Day 2008. Below is a tidbit from Georgia Heartland Humane Society as they acknowledge the wonderful readers and benefits of the Fayette Front Page.
The Georgia Heartland Humane Society rescues abandoned and abused animals to be placed in forever homes. Since its inception, the GHHS adoption contract has specified that the adopter must have the animal spayed or neutered within a specified time period. That condition was not negotiable. But now, GHHS no longer puts the onus on the adopter. In February 2008, GHHS launched their Pet Overpopulation Initiative.
The decision to launch a Pet Overpopulation Initiative coincided with Spay Day USA 2008, sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States. Being a small organization, GHHS started small. The first seed money came from HSUS. Buster, the Kitten, their entry in the HSUS photo contest, came in 8th in the nation. His winning pot of nearly $700 was the seed money. Fayette Front Page was instrumental in Buster’s victory. They displayed his photo prominently, encouraging readers to vote for him. Candy sales, donations, and a successful bake sale at the Adoptathon have added to the funds reserved strictly for spay/neuter.

Local Kitty Enters Photo Contest To Benefit Georgia Heartland Humane Society
The Humane Society of the United States is holding a photo contest and we would love for you to participate in it. Our entry representing Georgia Heartland Humane Society is Buster, an adorable little kitty cat that will melt your heart.
A vote for Buster is a vote for Georgia Heartland Humane Society.
If Buster wins the most votes he is permitted to designate the organization to win the grand prize of $5,000….GHHS, of course.
Any “personal” award Buster gets will be auctioned off on E-Bay or some similar manner so that the proceeds can go to GHHS. When you vote you have the opportunity to donate directly to GHHS by indicating that you want to vote for a particular organization. Then click the state and then Georgia Heartland.
