Butte Humane aims high

The crowds that came out for Zootoo.com visit worth it

<br>Hundreds of Chicoans flocked to the Butte Humane Society shelter Sunday afternoon (April 5), some with signs and others with pets they’d adopted. The occasion was a visit by <a href=Zootoo.com official Richard Thompson (pictured with an apparently tickled Mayor Ann Schwab). Word from BHS Executive Director Heather Schoeppach came Tuesday that the visit was well-received—the Fair Street facility made it to the final 10 shelters in the United States being considered for a million-dollar makeover. Just by making it to the top 10, BHS received $10,000. The next round of voting starts at noon on Monday (April 13) and goes until midnight April 19. Each individual can cast no more than 10 votes per day. For more information and to vote, log onto www.zootoo.com or go to the BHS home page at www.buttehumane.org.">
