Three weeks ago, HappyCavy began a contest called The Amazing Guinea Pig Rescue Bedding Contest. The contest was held to help us select a guinea pig rescue to receive twelve 60L bags of CareFRESH Natural Pet Bedding.
And the results are in!
The Winning Rescue
Without further delay, let’s get to it!
With a total of 84 votes cast, the winning rescue for The Amazing Guinea Pig Rescue Bedding Contest is…
The Critter Corral in Steger, Illinois!
The Critter Corral was founded in 1999 to find homeless and unwanted guinea pigs new, loving homes. In fact, as of January 1st, 2012, they have taken in over 3,300 guinea pigs. What an amazing rescue!
As the winner, The Critter Corral will receive a free shipment of twelve 60L bags of CareFRESH Natural Pet Bedding and will be featured as the CareFRESH Rescue of the Month.
HappyCavy will be contacting The Critter Corrall soon to arrange the delivery of their awesome winning prize.
