Find the Mystery Pet on Petango.com and help feed homeless pets--and your own!

Not sure how to play?  Below is an example from last week. Read the instructions and find this weeks' clues at the bottom of this article!

1) Once upon a time, a small mouse lived here too, and just like that mouse, I was born a star!

2) I may be fast and love to run, but what I really want is to run right home to you.

3)  I shine brightest when I'm the center of your attention.

4) My ancestors are famous for their incredible endurance, which is commemorated each year from Nenana to Nome.

Who am I? Find me and you can help feed me!

(NOTE: This is an example from LAST WEEK. Answers are below. For this week's Mystery Pet CLUES scroll to the bottom of this post!) 

Petango.com is asking pet lovers to “Find a Pet, Feed a Pet” for the opportunity to win FREE pet food for their pets AND adoptable pets in animal shelters.  Find the “Mystery” Pet from a set of clues, be the first to post it on the Petango.com fan page on Facebook, and win FREE pet food of your choice from ThePetangoStore.com for your pets and the animal shelter where our Mystery Pet resides!

This is how it works:

1)  Once or twice a week on a random day of our choosing we will select one pet currently available for adoption on Petango.com to be our Mystery Pet.

2)  We will deliver three clues about our Mystery Pet on our Blog, Facebook, and Twitter.

3)  The first person to discover our Mystery Pet will win any pet food item from the Pet Food Shop at ThePetangoStore.com AND a free bag of pet food for the animal shelter where our chosen pet is housed.

4)  No winner? Every hour after the first hour we will provide an additional clue until someone figures it out!

Sound like a plan? This is how you play:

1)  Become a fan of Petango.com on Facebook.

2)  Watch for our THREE clues posted on our Blog, Facebook, and Twitter (@petangopets).

3)  Using your best detective skills, search adoptable pets on Petango.com for our Mystery Pet.

4)  Think you got it? Post a link to the profile of your guess on our Facebook wall… but choose carefully! You only get three guesses.

5)  First person to correctly guess the Mystery Pet AND post his or her profile on the Petango.com Facebook fan page WINS!

Here are the answers to our example at the top:

1) Once upon a time, a small mouse lived here too, and just like that mouse, I was born a star!  "Mickey Mouse" was inspired by a real mouse that Walt Disney used to take care of at a studio in Kansas City, MO.

2) I may be fast and love to run, but what I really want is to run right home to you. Our Mystery Pet is an active dog who likes a good run!

 3)  I shine brightest when I'm the center of your attention. "Star" is a single-pet kind of girl--let her take center stage and she'll love you forever!

 4) My ancestors are famous for their incredible endurance, which is commemorated each year from Nenana to Nome. The Iditarod commemorates the infamous race against time from Nenana to Nome to deliver medication they sorely needed.  As a Siberian Husky, this is part of Star's heritage!

Last week's Mystery Pet was Star, a Siberian Husky at Wayside Waifs who has since been adopted.

Ready for the real thing?

Here are your first three clues to this week’s Mystery Pet!

1)  I live in an American town with French-Canadian history in a place that shares it's name with a key sushi ingredient... Faribault, MN was named after French-Canadian fur trader Alexander Faribault and is in "Rice" County.

2) I'll perform for you as you walk by, so I know I'll catch your eye. Other big wigs were just like me--Sammy Davis Jr., Hannibal, and Colombo makes three! Singer and dancer Sammy Davis Jr., Hannibal of Carthage, and actor Pet Falk who played Lt. Colombo were all missing one eye--like our Mystery Pet who loves to "flirt" and purr at new visitors!

 3)  I share my name with a famous snake who lost her life to a nameless bride. Elle Driver (alias "California Mountain Snake") was a member of the Viper Assassins.  The Bride ultimately got her revenge in Kill Bill.

4) I'm on the "frontier" of Faribault... and though I think I'm pretty fabulous, it's not uncommon for someone of my particular looks to be completely overlooked! Elle Driver is at Prairie's Edge Humane Society and she is a black cat! Black cats (and dogs) are often overlooked for their more colorful counterparts.

Who am I? Find me and you can help feed me!  We have a winner! Thanks for playing everyone, and looking forward to our next "Find a Pet, Feed a Pet" coming soon...

Miss out this week? Don't worry! We'll be back with another Mystery Pet and another round of Find a Pet, Feed a Pet trivia next week... or maybe later this week... or maybe tomorrow...so stay tuned!
