Thank you for all the Twitter support for the Pet Mayor Contest! We can be found at Twitter.com/petmayorcontest

It has been a blast to connect with pet lovers from around the globe through Twitter, with many casting Pet Mayor ballots and “Re-Tweeting” Pet Mayor news through the Twitterverse.

Twitter has helped us raise awareness about the great cause the Pet Mayor Contest supports, leading to many with a Twitter presence to tweet and blog and otherwise champion the cause on their own. Most recently, In Circle Pets – San Francisco wrote a wonderful blog post in support of the Pet Mayor Contest.

We’d like to thank everyone local and afar who has so generously supported this year’s election and the local businesses that sponsored Pet Mayor candidates. But it’s not over! You can still vote Saturday and part of Sunday before the big announcement.

Please visit the MVH Pet & Wildlife Fund homepage for information about all the remaining festivities, and vote online as often as you like until the polls close.

Alex, Alice, Bella, Gracie, Little Bear, Molly, Nitro and Rico all thank you for your support!

Bella wanted to thank everyone who came out to support her and the MVH Pet & Wildlife Fund last night. We especially wanted to thank Montclair Bistro for hosting the event.

As you can see from the pictures, we all had a Bella Blast!

Don’t forget to join us for lots of Pet Mayor fun this Saturday, June 20, at Fentons from noon-4 p.m. and Sunday, June 21, from 9-1 p.m. for the final day of the campaign.

Be sure to vote online and then come out to support your candidates.

Thanks,
Erin, Joel & Bella
