Citizens for Animal Protection invited into Rachael Ray $100K Challenge

The Citizens for Animal Protection of Houston shelter has been invited to participate with 50 other shelters in the $100K Rachael Ray Challenge, sponsored by the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

According to a shelter press release, CAP will compete for grants from $5,000 to $100,000 from ASPCA during June, July and August. The goal of the challenge is to increase the number of adoption opportunities in communities throughout America.

During the summer, CAP's staff and volunteers will develop programs and campaigns to attract more animal adopters from the Houston area. An aggressive media campaign will be used to put pet adoption in front of as many citizens as possible.

CAP is at 17555 Katy Freeway, Houston.

For more information on the challenge, contact JoAnne Jackson at 281-497-0053 or jjackson@cap4pets.org or visit www.cap4pets.org.

Citizens for Animal Protection has been serving the greater Houston area since 1972 and cares for between 8,000 and 9,000 animals per year.
