Vote for BRAT!

It's that time again... shelter voting contest time! I know many of you are familiar with this contest, but you may not be aware of just how important your vote is. Every time you click this link and vote for BRAT, it puts us a little closer towards winning some prize money. I know that most contests are hard to win, and you never really see results, but this one is different. We DO see results. In the past few contests, BRAT has won at least $2000 -- $1000 for being the winner of the state of Texas, and $1000 for being the winner of one of the weeks. That's $2000 more that we were able to put towards helping rescued basenjis, just because you remembered to click on this website every day!

So, this time we want to ask you again to remember to click this link and vote for BRAT every day. You can vote once a day, every day until December 19th. And, maybe this time we can try to get one of the top prizes and win even MORE money to help rescue basenjis!

• Grand Prize: One $10,000 grant!
• Second Prize: One $5,000 grant!
• Third Prize: One $2,000 grant!

Next Shelter Challenge Begins Monday!

Ready to Vote?

The next Animal Rescue Site $100,000 Shelter+ Challenge - together with Petfinder.com begins on Monday, January 18th, 2010.

Basenji lovers, start your engines! This time, they're doubling the number of weekly prize winners to two per week. Last time, with your incredible voting support BRAT won both the state prize (for Texas) of $1000, and we won one of the weekly prizes of $1000. That meant that BRAT was able to put an extra $2000 toward rescuing basenjis like Pona, the little boy in Texas who was heartworm positive and had a broken leg, and Kiya & Sabre, who were found just this week starving to death and barely clinging to life. With your help and your votes, we stand a very good chance of winning one of the top prizes this time (either $20,000, $5,000, or $3,000). Last time we were in second-place for a really long time but we slipped to 5th place at the end... this time I know we can do it! Just think of all the basenjis we could help with that extra money, and all of the people who could be so much happier with a rescued basenji in their lives :)

So spread the word and get ready to vote on Monday! Sign up now for daily vote reminders and tell your friends to get them too! Vote at work, and at home! Most importantly, vote EVERY DAY for Basenji Rescue and Transport (in Garland, Texas) so we can save more dogs' lives!
