Jody Caizza has run Kind Heart Rescue for 20 years out of her log cabin home, which is located on 14 wooded acres in Cream Ridge, NJ. Her rescue provides sanctuary to homeless dogs and rabbits. Devoting 35 hours/week to caring for the animals and contributing $5000-$10,000 of the necessary $20,000/year it takes to maintain the rescue, Caizza’s love for animals is unquestionable.

The Midwest Rabbit Rescue & Re-home finished in 6th place- a dramatic comeback from their ranking of 21 just a few days ago. Zootoo will continue to validate all the points all the shelters received, so their current ranking may shift a bit. Next, a panel of judges from Zootoo will visit each shelter and make their decision who is to be the first place winner of a million dollar shelter makeover! Second place will receive $10,000 and the other 18 contestants will receive $5000 each. Congratulations Midwest Rabbit Rescue & Re-home!

The dedicated volunteers at Midwest Rabbit Rescue & Re-home will be participating in a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Royal Oak, MI on Saturday, March 15, at 11 am.  Donning bunny ears, the volunteers will be holding banners and passing out information about their rescue and their quest to win a million dollar shelter makeover from Zootoo.com.

Well I just came across this story about Midwest Rabbit Re-home, which is located near Ann Arbor, Michigan. Apparently, they are the only rabbit rescue close to winning a million dollar shelter renovation offered by Zootoo.com. Currently, they are ranked 11 out of 20, and they can rise in the rankings if they get enough points via this page: zootoo.com/register/referrer/midwestrabbitrr

You have to register with Zootoo and put in Midwest Rabbit Re-home’s zip code (48170) and then choose their name from the dropdown menu. Registering gets 100 points, and you can earn more points by writing reviews, volunteering, commenting on news, and referring other people to the site. So far I’ve earned 140 points… I have to think of more products to review so I can earn some more.

In seeing photos of Midwest Rabbit Re-home’s current shelter, it does look like a makeover is in order. As of now, they are using an old warehouse as their shelter, and while they’ve done the best they can to fix up the space, a million dollar grant would go a long way.
