April seems to be a contest crazy month, so here's a separate post devoted to the ones we know about:
---
The Animal Rescue Site's Shelter Challenge
Yes, it's starting again on Monday, April 4th. As I write this on Sunday afternoon, there is no web page up for the new contest and so I don't know what the details are for this round. I hope the usual link will work:
You can vote in the Shelter Challenge here.
Please note: Use Rolling Dog Ranch for our name and NH for the state and our listing will come up.

Our friends at the New Hampshire SPCA "downstate" (as they say here) in Stratham have made it into the qualifying round of the ASPCA's $100,000 Challenge to Save More Lives contest. They are competing to be one of the 50 shelters eligible to participate in the final round of the challenge. This is not a contest for us -- you need to care for a minimum of 1,000 animals during the year to enter. The NHSPCA has made it past the first stage and into the qualifying round, and now they need as many votes as possible to get one of the final 50 spots in the contest. On their behalf, we'd like to ask you to vote for them -- they do wonderful work and we'd like to support their efforts.
The qualifying round of the contest starts Monday, April 4 and runs until April 15 -- and you can vote EVERY DAY in this challenge, too! Please vote for the NHSPCA here.
If you have questions or want to know more about this Challenge, please go to this page. My standard disclaimer: I cannot help with voting issues, troubleshoot, or provide any other assistance for this contest.

One of our terrific supporters, Cathy S., entered her dog Casey as "Chill'n" in Kuranda's Dog of the Month contest for April. If he wins, Kuranda will send us five free dog cots -- and as I think long-time blog readers know, the Kuranda cots are very popular around here! Please vote for Chill'n here. You can cast one vote every day throughout the month of April.
Thank you, Cathy!
My thanks too for the posting. I started voting yesterday as soon as I saw it! Remember too to vote for RDR in the other contest. We kind of let them down in the last go round.
