Only three days left to get your "pet" nonprofit on the YouTube homepage

This month, as part of our YouTube Video Volunteers program, we're asking all of you pet-lovers to make a video on behalf of your favorite animal welfare organization, so grab your cameras and submit your video by midnight PST on Thursday, 10/22. Our celeb curator for the month, actor and animal advocate Ben Stein, will select his ten favorites and on 10/24, the YouTube community will vote for the top three. Those videos will go on the homepage (alongside Stein's) on 10/26.

Please make sure to read the complete rules before submitting your video. Here are a few examples that have caught our eye thus far:
