Shelter Challenge back


  • The Animal Rescue Site $100,000 Spring Challenge begins today.
    BRAT has won a few top weekly winner $1000 grants in the past (as well as the prize for top shelter in Texas) and these have been incredibly helpful in offsetting the record year of expenses in 2009 and 2010.
    With the pending rescue of the huge Florida pack, we are hoping to again take advantage of the weekly wins, as well as hopefully finally achieve one of the 3 major grants.
    You may vote everyday at:
    http://tinyurl.com/voteforBRAT
    When you get the voting site, you will need to add "basenj" in the search box–-as well as the state of Texas.
    Please bookmark the site so that you can vote every day. Please ask your friends and family to vote. Post the link to your Facebook wall and ask for support!
    With your help, let's win a BIG prize this time!

    The rules did change this time and made it more fair: Under the rules of the 2012 Shelter+ Challenge: ? No group may win more than one Grand Prize in 2012. Winners of the Grand Prize are not eligible for state or regional grants during the same voting round, but are eligible for all other prizes. We congratulate Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc., our first Grand Prize winners of 2012! ? Regional prizes (State, Canadian, or International) may not be won during two consecutive voting rounds by a single organization; they are now limited to a maximum of two prizes during non-consecutive voting rounds per group per year. ? Weekly Winners are not eligible for Regional (State, Canadian, or International) awards during the same voting round. Weekly Winners are not excluded from Grand prizes and Special prizes.<<< But I agree. I think that they should limit Grand Prize to every OTHER year and state to once a year, not every other voting. It has become much like a steady supplemental income for a few groups. I think after so much money, the group should be eliminated completely for a while. As it is, many wonderful rescues have zero chance.

    The thing with multi-generational mutts is that they tend toward the dog "default" which is the same look that you see in many street dogs and pariah dog, medium size, prick ears, and often tan coloring. Since basenjis are a primitive dog they share these characteristics.
