Help the tigers !!!
Dogs Rule and Cats ...

Well, in this case we can say they are thankful there is American Dog Rescue!

We’ve been challenged! American dog rescue has issued the supporters of Tigers For Tomorrow a $10,000 challenge grant to help Tigers For Tomorrow relocate the last two cats from the Look Out Mountain Zoo to Untamed Mountain.

DELRAY BEACH, FL (February 5, 2010) — Arthur Benjamin, Founder and President of American Dog Rescue, heard about the plight of two animals left at a closed zoo, Lookout Mountain Wild Animal Park in Mentone, Alabama, the only two animals that have not been relocated. While they are not canines, they fit the animal welfare mission of this rescue organization. Therefore ADR, moved by their plight, has issued a $10,000 challenge grant to raise $30,000 so that these large cats can have a new home.

To enable Tigers for Tomorrow to match these funds, go to www.AmericanDogRescue.org/donate or go to the www.AmericanDogRescue.org and click "donate". Either way, click the "Tigers For Tomorrow" button.
