• I was looking at the challenge today (11/14), and
    we can still make the top 10
    if everyone takes the time to vote!!!!
    ⭕p:);)


  • 😞 If we don't move up I don't think we get money.


  • I voted and I'll have my friends vote….I don't have facebook but I have friends that do- I'll have them put it up to vote


  • We've still got a few days to go – GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!


  • Wwe did much better last time - are there some out there who haven't voted this time? Come on folks, please.


  • WOHOO, not sure how but BRAT came in on top for Texas shelter. But we really need to push it next one so we stay up on weekly.


  • 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.

    This is a great contest and the money is real. BRAT received $6,000
    last year and over the years has received well over $10,000.

    And it's easy to vote. Just click here.

    http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/shelterchallenge.faces?siteId=3

    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

    Mike Swan
    President, BRAT, Inc.

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


  • There is a story challenge called "New Beginnings". The winner gets a 3,000 grant for their rescue. You can enter your story until February.

    Nayru's is here.

    This is on the same site as the Shelter Challenge. 🙂


  • Kewl! Btw, everyone should submit stories both there and on BRAT page. 🙂


  • I redid Nayru's story so I had the BRAT name in there correctly. I'm hoping her story is one of the few that will be picked for voting! http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ars/story/heaven-through-her-ears142


  • YEAH! Please post if she is!


  • Anyone else having issues with voting using IE. I keep getting a timed out notice. I have done everything. It's okay, can use Firefox but very strange.


  • There were a number of people having trouble over this past weekend.

    I could not get on Petfinder on Friday afternoon and I gave up.

    Jennifer


  • I could get on the site but it was difficult to get my vote accepted but seemed alright today. Perhaps it was just a glitch.


  • Happy to say we got at least the state one! It all helps!

    U.S. State Winners (& Washington D.C.):
    Each receive a $1,000 grant to help animals!
