Ozaukee Humane Society Competing in Rachel Ray $100K Challenge

The Wisconsin Humane Society needs to break their 2012 own record at saving animals' lives in order to be able to win anywhere from $5,000 to $100,000.

The Ozaukee Wisconsin Humane Society is one of only 50 shelters in the country chosen to compete in the 2013 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge.

Shelters across the country will compete to break their own records at saving animals' lives. Throughout the months of June, July and August each shelter must save more dogs, cats, puppies and kittens than they did during the same three months in 2012.

Every participating shelter who finishes the program will receive $1,000. Shelters can win anywhere from $5,000 to $100,000 in grant money from the ASPCA.
