We at Southside SPCA love and care for all our canine and feline friends, but we acknowledge the long-standing debate over which is ‘best’…the dog or the cat. So, this fall, amidst all the hype over that other election, we are asking our supporters to put this debate to the vote. Do dogs rule or do cats rule? Throughout the fall you will have the chance to cast your vote in our General Election in the form of a donation. And in this election, you can vote as many times as you like! You can cast your vote at one of the fine retail establishments listed below and at several special election events we’ll hold throughout the season until November 18 (see details below).
You can also enter your favorite furry friend in our special Decision 2016! Dogs v Cats Photo Contest which ends on October 16 (details below). Best of all, regardless of who wins this election, all of the cats and dogs of Southside SPCA will benefit from your vote donations!
NOW, HELP US GET OUT THE VOTE!! GO CATS! GO DOGS!
