Please help with animal shelter makeover

...We ended up number 17 shelter in the country out of 947 and are in the running for the million dollar makeover. We got at least $5000 for the shelter and a chance at the big prize!
Congratulations!
I got an email from zootoo. Something about 'why should your shelter get the big award?' Do you have any good words?
 
Not really sure what to say since every shelter will be saying close to the same thing. They are a small town shelter trying to help with minimum funding and support and a new shelter would mean they could assist more animals and have better conditions for those they keep until they are adopted. I know they work like crazy trying to raise money to keep it open otherwise there wouldnt be a shelter in that area to help out.

Sorry I didn't see this before. My wife and I are both huge ASPCA and Humane Society supporters. We would have supported your cause had I seen it in time.

I urge everyone to take a look at this video:

Three minutes of your time can open your eyes to an epidemic problem we are facing in our food industry. Please watch!

Thanks,
