Help Us Win Cutest Dog and We'll Donate to Needy Animals!

By
Real Estate Agent with The Kentwood Company at Cherry Creek

By now, many of you have heard the story of DUKE, who we adpoted one year ago. Duke is a Golden Retreiver/Shar Pei mix who has the disposition of Budda and loves tummy rubs and peanut butter.

He was abandoned in Texas, and we got him last year during the weekend of Hurricane Ike.

Duke's Stuffy

We've entered Duke into the "Cutest Dog Competition" as a way to support orgasnizations that resuce dogs. If Duke hadn't been rescued and found his way into our household, we'd be the poorer for it.

If Duke manages to garner any winnings, we'll make a donation to two excellent local shelters - The Denver Dumb Friends League and the Max Fund.  The top prize is $1,000,000!

Here's how you can help. This contest is all about social networking. There are thousands of dogs entered every week for twelve weeks. Today begins week 6.

During this week, everyone can vote for the same dog once a day every day.  Please sign up and vote for DUKE F!

It's a lot to ask, but once you've registered your email (so they know the voting is fair) you can bookmark Duke's site and vote in seconds.  Here's the link to Duke's site: http://www.cutestdogcompetition.com/vote.cfm?h=B73E47A9FA9E71F0C087B6006A4F18F2&page=1.

The main contest site is: www.CutestDogCompetition.com.  You can also go there and search for DUKE F. in the "Cutest Gallery."

Help us raise money for resuced animals and the organizations that rescue them!  Vote for DUKE F. once a day every day this week!  It would mean a lot to him:)

Also, please pass this message on to anyone who you think might be interested in helping Duke.  Tweet it!  Put it on your Facebook! We'll need in excess of 3,000 votes to win - that's a lot of you clicking away.

Thanks and have a great week!

Hi Gretchen: Just voted and will try to do every day.  Duke really is a cutie and what a great story.  It's so nice to meet people like you who care enough to rescue our wonderful animals.

Well, I have voted twice, and there are 108 votes right now, but we have 150,000+ AR members. Can we not do better than this?  We must be able to.  I'll reblog as well, to see if we can improve the cuteness ratings. :)  Good luck.

Gretchen - I voted again but we're in trouble . . .  Big Boy had over 990 votes and Twinkle had 202+  when I last checked.   We need everybody here voting for you and Duke.  I thought I might enter my dog for next week but it is only for US dogs - drats!  Here's my Sheila, an Australian Shepherd:

Hi Sylvie,

You'd think with 150,000+ members that we'd be able to break 1,000!  I think that some of those dog owners have too much time on their hands. One guy owns an online gaming company and gives a prize to everyone who votes for his dog. That dog, Jasper, has over 2,000 votes already!!

 

Susan,

I love Australian Shepards! They have great personalities and they're super cute too!
