Vick Dog Chew Toy Give Away Winner – Week 8

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

Hello Vick Dog Chew Toy Fans! 

Week 8 of the NFL season is in the books and so is week 8 of The Bark For Awareness Campaign!  

We had a very slow week of voting.  Only 90 total votes were cast.  Is that because the hated Mike Vick is not in the line up once again?  If so, look for him to play a key role in the starting lineup in week 9. 

As mentioned on Monday through Facebook, Smilin’ Pit Bull Rescue was in the winners seat throughout the weekend.  Smilin’ Pit Bull Rescue held on through the surge of Cloud Nine Rescue Flights and BullyWag to take over week 8!  Congratulations to our repeat winner.  Here is the bio on Smilin’ Pit Bull Rescue: 

We are committed to increasing public awareness regarding the breed and educating the public about responsible dog ownership. We help find dogs in need forever homes. Adopt a Pit Bull, Save a Smile!  

Smilin’ Pit Bull Rescue repeats their wins in week 3 and week 4 and take home FIVE FREE Official Vick Dog Chew Toys!  

Those of you that are involved in The Bark For Awareness Campaign are encouraged to step forward and promote your efforts.  The goal of this weekly contest is to help YOUR organization raise awareness of your efforts, put your Organization on the map and in front of the public and to help YOU with YOUR fundraising efforts.  Get the word out!  Support your involvement through awareness of your participation.  

Week 9 is getting interesting!  Vick might be back.  The Eagles are playing again.  Let’s continue our outreach efforts, show our support for organizations that care for our beloved pets daily and continue our support for THE OFFICIAL VICK DOG CHEW TOY! 

Thank you for your interest and your support.

Bark For Awareness – Week 7

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

Hello Official Vick Dog Chew Toy Fans!

I first want to apologize for the short “lay off”.  I decided to take a vacation and that enjoyable event has put me a bit behind.  Vacation is over and I am BACK!

What an AMAZING weekend in the NFL!  Defense ruled, no need to CRUSH Vick as he is still out (thanks to my Skins) and no clear runaway has been established.  What an AMAZING weekend also for the Official Vick Dog Chew Toy Bark For Awareness 2 Campaign!  New players, more votes than ever, and a NEW WINNER!

The Bark For Awareness Campaign produced over 350 votes in week 7!  A few veteran organizations such as Smilin’ Pit Bull Rescue, Bama Bully Rescue and Bully Breed Rescue made a strong surge.  However, no surge was strong enough to top our newest winner Cloud Nine Rescue Flights!  Cloud Nine took 29% of the total votes cast and is our week 7 winner!

Here is the background on Cloud Nine Rescue Flights:

Cloud Nine is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that specializes in animal transport via aircraft. Our mission is to eliminate the euthanasia of pets in the United States and provide aid to animals worldwide. We do this by providing safe, fast, and cost-effective air transports of rescue pets, providing animal welfare-related transports to people who provide aid to animals in underserved areas, and by educating the public on the importance of spaying and neutering of pets. In doing so, we manage to not only attack the problem on the surface, but also at its roots. Over the last year we have rescued over 430 animals (primarily dogs) from cruel/abusive situations or overcrowded shelters and transported them to sanctuaries and no kill shelters where they were adopted to their forever homes. We have performed these rescues all over the U.S., Canada, and Mexico utilizing our two, large, twin-engine aircraft flown by our volunteer Airline Transport and Commercial licensed pilots.

Please join me in congratulating Cloud Nine for not only winning the Bark For Awareness Campaign in week 7, but also for all the great things they do for our beloved pets!  For their efforts Cloud Nine will receive FOUR FREE OFFICIAL VICK DOG CHEW TOYS!  The Titans came through Sunday and placed a late game beat down on the Eagles. 

I am more excited than ever before!  The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy Bark For Awareness Campaign is growing in interest and participation.  Please continue to promote your involvement and cast your votes!  This is a great way to promote what you are doing each and every day in support of our great pets.  Celebrate your efforts!

Thanks for all you do.
