Well I was told 3 days ago she'd be on the site and she still isn't. I have been emailing back and forth with Lori King from Brat Mixes…she submitted it and told me via email 3 days ago "She should be listed within a couple days"....so Im still waiting.
Brand new shelter challenge

I actually posted the info under shelter challenge before 9 am, not sure need 2nd thread but if it helps get responses, that's good.
Shelter challenge 2011
From Brat:The first Shelter Challenge of 2011 has begun!
We would greatly appreciate if you could vote for Basenji Rescue & Transport, Inc.–-on a daily basis.

You can find BRAT by typing in "basenji" in the search box and entering the state of Texas.
You will be asked to identify an animal photo to prove you are a person and not a robot.
That's it.
This voting round begins on January 10, 2011, and ends at midnight (PT) on March 20, 2011

President, BRAT, Inc.Please ask people if you can put on daily email reminder. We really struggled last one.

Voted…thanks for the link and the reminder otherwise I wouldn't have known
-
Thanks, Wizard! Sometimes I miss one thread, so 2 are better!
-
Sadly they changed the ruling so we can only win once, but I have asked everyone in my email to vote !
-
Actually that's not quite true.
From their website:
"**Weekly Prizes: $1,000 will be awarded each week during the voting period for each organization with the most votes during that week (10 prizes of $1,000 each during the first voting period; participants are eligible for only one weekly prize during each voting period). Winners of Weekly Prizes are not eligible for Regional Prizes during the same voting period…No organization may win more than one Weekly Prize during each voting period. Organizations may win up to three (3) prizes total during each voting period. The Grand Prize for each voting period winners must be separate organizations (no organization can win more than one of the Grand Prizes for the most votes). Organizations receiving the Grand Prize are ineligible for Regional Prizes during that voting period (For example, if the Grand Prize Winner is located in California, the State Prize will go to the organization in that state with the highest vote total after the Grand Prize Winner). The Challenge Champion Prize winner from the previous calendar year is not eligible for the Grand Prize during the current calendar year, but remains eligible for all other prizes including the Weekly and Regional prizes." -
Just voted….BRAT was top shelter in state but 8th overall....Keep voting
-
I am pestering all my friends to vote. Gosh knows we need the funds.
-
Well we started in 8th place but now have slipped to 10th.
GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!
-
voting….

This is the email I sent to every person in my address book that I didn't think would kill me:
We have sadly dropped to 10th place overall. PLEASE can you vote and ask just a few friends to vote. One high burst might help us hold onto our top 10 spot. So many of the other rescues actually take out advertisements for people to vote. Since our rescue is national, that isn't an option for us. The only hope we have is for people like me to annoy people like you all and beg for help.
The massive rescue of over 50 dogs, and then all the litters, has severely strapped up. It is raining Basenjis.
On the other hand, want to see a miracle? This is what Florida rescue and truly saintly Pam started with:

From feral dogs, with only 11 adults now left, here are the final group, learning manners, understanding love:
