Adopt-A-Bull Contest

Announcing the ASPCA Adopt-A-Bull Contest
Nobody loves a story about someone finding their perfect four-legged match as much as us—except maybe you, animal lovers! And this February 14, we’re putting out a call for adoption success stories featuring furry valentines of the predominately pit bull kind. What better way to get the word out that pit bulls can indeed make loving and loyal, delightful and devoted companions?

The ASPCA is thrilled to launch the Adopt-A-Bull Contest, sponsored by the New York-based Animal Farm Foundation, Inc, a group dedicated to protecting American pit bull terriers from discrimination and cruelty. The contest kicks off this February, when we’ll be accepting nominations of successful adoptions of pit bulls made at shelters using the ASPCA’s Meet Your Match™ program. MYM focuses on the individual dog and adopter—making matches based on an individual dog’s behavior and the lifestyle and expectations of the adopter.

The contest will run four times throughout the year, with one winner announced each quarter. The winning shelters will be awarded a $4,000 grant, and the dog-and-pet parent matches from each winning shelter will score a prize pack and automatically be entered into the “Vote for Your Favorite Match” contest, which will take place here, online at ASPCA.org., in February 2009 (Yes, we’ll be asking animal lovers everywhere to cast their vote for their favorite couple!).

The grand-prize shelter winner will be treated to a trip to New York City to participate in the third annual ASPCA Day celebration (that’s April 10, 2009) and a $5,000 grant, and the pet parent-pooch duo who receives the most votes in our online contest will win a photo shoot with a professional photographer and a bronze of their top dog.

And if, over the course of the contest, any of our winning dog-human duos get you thinking that a pit bull might make a perfect match for your family, please visit ASPCA.org for more information…that’s the point of our contest, after all!
