• 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!
    🙂

  • Houston

    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:

    Vote, vote, vote.


  • I know, just came to post. Please ask 10 of your friends, email every day or 2 a reminder. Surely we can bump this back up!
