Adopt an Angel
I've discovered another new site through the Blogger's Choice Awards, but this one has a bit of a sob story attached to it. The site is called "Anjos para Adocao" which translates to "Angels for Adoption." This blog was created by a woman who helps find homes for abandoned dogs and cats around São Paulo, Brazil. It's written in Portuguese, but the photos speak for themselves.

Up until yesterday, it had been nominated in the Best Animal Blog Category and was winning with 700 votes. Then it was banned. It was banned because it's in a poor community where none of the people have computers in their own homes so had to use public computers to vote, so all of those votes came from a very small number of IP addresses. Which looked like voting fraud.

Fortunately, the Blogger's Choice Awards created a new Foreign Language category and have reinstated the blog there... minus all of its previous votes. I think it's a good blog doing a great thing that deserves to get some attention. So I've voted for it and now I'm blogging about it in the hopes that my readers will be moved to vote for it, too.

Angels for Adoption was nominated for Best Foreign Language Blog!

Thanks to Renata for bringing this to my attention.
