Blog :

Update to Shelter+ Challenge....please help us get up in the rankings!

Posted by Deb A at 1/22/2010 5:47:22 PM

Hey guys! This is still going on and we've managed to drop from a high of 6th in the state to a lowly #10

Can you please encourage all your friends and family to vote once a day for us? The challenge continues for another month and I'd love to keep us up as high as possible!

Here's the original blog post...please help if you can!

==============================================================================

So, another Shelter + Challenge started on the January 18th. Our local herp society did pretty well in the last one, considering we didn't start until late. With this new one, we have a chance to get ourselves up in the rankings right at the start.

If you have a minute, can you please click on the below link and vote for us? I'd love to see reptiles up top of the list especially at this time when we need all the good exposure we can get!

www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/shelterchallenge.faces

The above link will take you to the main page. Do a search for "Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society" and click on the VOTE button. Next time you go back to the page, we'll be in your "already voted for " list so it is even easier the second time around.

Thanks for the help - the cash we could get from this would allow us to expand our foster/adoption program into something much bigger and better!

PNHS,	Posted At: 1/26/2010 11:03:50 AM
	Woo hoo! The best thing about being #10 is that we show up on the front page when someone checks State listings. Please keep at it - if we can get a $1000 award we'll be able to help a lot more reptiles! If we're really lucky we could get high enough to get a much bigger award and be set for quite awhile. Thanks so much, everyone, for helping with this!

Deb A,	Posted At: 2/1/2010 11:44:26 AM
	Thanks for keeping voting guys! It makes a difference. Next time you look at results, hover your mouse over the bar on the graph and you can see the percentage of votes we have overall in the state. We have a ways to go to take over #5..but I bet we can do it if we just keep it up!

	Frog #6 #331 it was a cute little black n white froggy too!

shellboa,	Posted At: 2/2/2010 11:17:23 AM
	Question, does our Oregon vote get counted as a Washington vote? I mean it isn't looking at what state we are in but which one we vote for right?

Deb A,	Posted At: 2/2/2010 11:48:02 AM
	Correct - it's kinda misleading with the "percentage of state votes" as it is really showing percentage of total votes for organizations in the state.

BurmGirl23,	Posted At: 2/2/2010 12:25:07 PM

Deb A,	Posted At: 3/3/2010 4:59:01 PM
	It's down so far because people stopped voting for us while others have increased their votes. If we all keep voting as often as possible, hopefully we'll get back up there!
