Its my birthday tomorrow and I was wondering...

I am part of an animal rescue here in Raleigh. We have the cutest darn dog who needs surgery and we are entered in this cutest dog contest to get votes for $500 towards the surgery. I was wanting to, for my birthday, get as many people to vote as I can for this dog. I'm not sure if I can post a link to the contest here so people can vote or not (if anyone has any insight, that'd be great) but do you guys have any ideas how I can get this out? The voting for this week is voer the 17th so I have a few days to advertise.
