my hero of the year
Bernie Berlin is a very close friend of mine and I want to help her help the animals.
Animal Planet is having a Hero of the Year contest, the winner will receive $10k which could go a long way to helping Bernie's animal rescue. So I thought if we could get as many people as possible to nominate her, she might have a chance!
So will you help me, help her?
OK!
Here is the link to the contest entry form.
There's a few steps to entering, you'll need:
Her birthday: 9 -17-65
her phone number: 414-732-3211
her email: aplace2bark@aol.com
and her address:
Bernie Berlin
"A Place To Bark"
375 N. Jones Road
Portland, TN 37148
You'll also need a 250 word or under write up about Bernie, I am including mine below so that way if you would like to simply copy and paste it you can. Feel free to write your own though!
-------------------------------
Bernie Berlin is a hero to all the unwanted and uncared for animals in this world. She works tirelessly out of her own pocket to save every creature she can while educating the public about animal care, spaying, and the plight of rescue animals through her blog: http://aplacetobark.blogspot.com/.
Bernie has been running her non-profit grass roots animal rescue, called A Place to Bark for the last 6 years and has found "forever homes" for over 300 dogs and cats and even a couple chickens and one peacock! She has been profiled twice by WITI FOX News in Milwaukee.
About once a month, she makes a 16 hour one way drive from her home in Tennessee with a van full of death-row puppies to Humane Societies in Wisconsin and Chicago, where the puppies will quickly find homes in the more urban areas.
She works closely with Tennessee and Kentucky animal control volunteers to help them learn proper health care to avoid diseases like Parvo, Mange and parasite infestations etc.
If Bernie were to win Hero of the Year, it would be a tremendous help to her rescue and in turn she would be better able to save countless cats and dogs from a needless death.

thank you for your help!!

That's great what your friend is doing. I'm always up for supporting fellow animal advocates!
Aw, poor Toby. When Booger was alive, we had to have a lump removed from his hind leg just like Toby..turns out it was just a lump of fatty tissue, thank goodness. That bandage they put on his leg made his paw swell up, so he had a REALLY fat foot. heehee Hope he's doing ok
LOL @ him growling at his tail. ;)

Thank you for the post on Bernie. I nominated her too, rephrased your write up a little. Bernie deserves this and more!
Glad Toby came through surgery okay. He has such a sweet face even though he is not happy about the sock.
