The Best Friend’s Friend Contest was created by dog lover Rodney Blow, who is the man behind Dog Nation. He said he created the contest so his readers could choose the “best” shelter most deserving of the donation.

Some of you nominated your favorite organizations for this contest. If the group you nominated ends up winning, the donation will be made in your name! I think that’s pretty cool and generous.
