COLUMBIA, Mo. -- A Columbia animal shelter has won a nationwide contest that will give it a makeover with goods and services worth up to $1 million.
A pair of seventh-graders at Columbia Catholic School got the Central Missouri Humane Society shelter into the contest in January.
The makeover contest is promoted by zootoo.com.

Zootoo.com ran into controversy earlier this month when a St. Louis shelter that won the contest last year complained it hadn't received any money -- only pressure from Thompson to ask vendors to donate their goods and services for the makeover.
The website and St. Louis shelter reached a legal settlement last week.
