Pets Reducing for Rescues (PRFR) goes virtual for 2020!

Contestants, Rescues, & Pet Community,

As the pandemic puts stresses on our society we know keeping our pets healthy is a huge priority for our clients and our rescues need our support more than ever with the impending need for care, fostering and rescuing pets from COVID-19 affected households. We also know that more time at home can lead to more treats and possible

So for all those reasons...our contest is still on but going virtual!

We currently have 17 dogs & 23 cats in the contest and are still adding until March 30th (extended deadline)

We have WAIVED the requirement to be weighed on our scales. All contestants (including virtual) will be eligible for over $2500 in prizes based on their paw points.

HERE IS HOW TO ENTER A NEW PET OR GET US A HOME WEIGHT ON A CURRENT CONTESTANT:

1) Dogs over 10 lbs can be weighed on your home bathroom scale. They typically are accurate to 0.1 lb = 1.6 oz.

Just send us a photo of scale readout with time stamp using your phone (email to westtownevc@gmail.com or text to 608-888-9208 or drop by and use our outside scale anytime and text us the weight. We will email you back a signup form to choose the rescue you want donations to go to etc .

2) Cats and dogs less than 10 lbs will still need to be weighed on a baby scale or modified food scale that weighs accurately to 0.02 lbs = 0.3 oz for pet safety, accuracy and fairness.

You can buy one on Amazon for less than $50. This is one of our favorites on Amazon or check one out from WTVC anytime for 24 hrs (fully sanitized between uses)
