What Does an Animal Shelter, Recycling and a West Virginia Florist Have In Common?

A Dream For A Better Life

I may be the plant expert for Flower Shop Network, but my other passion involves dogs. Every dog I have ever had has come from a shelter.

Right now, this idea is ranked at 225.  We need to be in the top 10 to win this money.
