Hello animal lovers! I hope you will join me in supporting Tazewell ARC (@tarc), a small, under-funded animal shelter in rural Appalachia that helps hundreds of dogs annually with food, shelter, vaccinations, medical care, home placement and spaying/neutering. The latter is a very expensive process that dramatically helps to reduce over-population, with the goal to push the horrible practice of euthanizing into obsolescence. Please visit the @tarc blog for more information on the myths and lies around that practice.
In this post you will find the evidence of funds distributed from the previous contest (see below - thank you, participants!) and the new contest rules. I am hoping to continue this contest as a regular event, grow participation, and increase the funds we can generate over time.
Easy ways to provide support: Upvote, resteem, and participate in the caption contest below!

Needless to say, one of the most effective ways you can help is through direct monetary contributions to [email protected]. But the purpose of this post is to make it super simple to help, whether or not you have full pockets. So — on with the contest!
@theironfelix won first place for his heart-warming caption:"In the lush green-scape ran a fur ball of energy, a snuggle machine skipping towards a long-away and grey-haired friend."
@sircork won second place for his hilarious caption:"Handle everything in life like a dog. If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away."Thank you again to participants!
Much love,
