Winners are selected via a random drawing with prizes awarded directly to the organization.  You can submit an entry on behalf of the animals cared for by the Friends - just click here and enter the requested information.  (Note: You can select the Friends from the pull-down menu or key in Friends For the Dearborn Animal Shelter in the "Shelter/Org. Name" and MI02  (the MI is for Michigan) in the "Shelter/Org. ID".  Thanks in advance from all the animals!)
