Petfinder Contest Ends and Begins Again

AP and I  entered the "Worlds Best Pet Parent Contest" at Petfinder last month see http://blinddogsrule.blogspot.com/2010/07/ap-and-i-need-your-help.html   We entered to win money for Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue (AGPR) where I came from and we made it to the final 50. Everyone was voting really hard for us and we were at number 7 when the contest was ended.
This is the email AP got from them:

Congratulations! You have won an Honorable Mention prize, a $1,000 donation to the rescue group you designated, in the World's Best Pet Parent Contest.
The adoption group you selected will be receiving verification paperwork via e-mail or regular mail from our contest administrator, Promotion Mechanics. They will be asked to submit 501(c)(3) paperwork or, if they don't have that, a completed W9 form providing a tax ID number in order to receive the donation.
Please note that you still have a chance to win even more money for your chosen adoption group. We have ended the World's Best Pet Parent Contest early due to voting issues and will be starting a new contest on Aug. 27. You, along with all the other finalists from the first contest -- with the exception of the top two winners -- will be automatically entered as finalists in the second contest. You will be receiving an e-mail about this shortly.
Once again, congratulations on winning this donation to help homeless pets.
Sincerely,

Petfinder

Thanks to all my friends and all the great voluteers at AGPR who spent every evening voting for us. We will be starting back up on August 27th and hope you will support the rescue once again.
Hugs and Licks
Tonka
