2009 Spring Shelter+ Challenge Winners (Apr-July 2009)

The following were the 2009 Spring winners in the "THE ANIMAL RESCUE SITE $100,000 SHELTER+ CHALLENGE — together with PETFINDER.COM". Even more voters participated and more shelters got out the word to their followers (more than 4 million votes were counted by the time the Spring Challenge ended). Once again, the winners were split evenly between large and small organizations. More than 70 grants were awarded by GreaterGood.org and Petfinder.com Foundation to the following shelters:

"I am writing to thank you for the $1000 that we won in the Shelter+ Challenge for the state of Iowa. It was an amazing event for a small community like ours. I never dreamed we could get the whole area so excited and involved in an online voting frenzy like we had here. It also brought so much attention to our animal facility that it helped in placing pets in their new homes."
Jeri Dreyer, Denison City Pound, Iowa state winner in the 2009 Spring Shelter+ Challenge

The Grand Prize — a $20,000 grant to help animals, went to:

Best Friends Animal Society of Kanab, Utah.

Second Prize — a $5,000 grant to help animals, went to:

Seminole County Animal Services of Sanford, Florida.

Third Prize — a $3,000 grant to help animals, went to:

Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary of Ovando, Montana.

Honorable Mentions (each winner receiving a $1,500 grant to help animals) went to: Days End Farm Horse Rescue of Lisbon, Maryland, and Community Animal Rescue & Adoption Inc (CARA) of Jackson, Mississippi.

Winners of the Spring 2009 regional prizes

A $1,000 grant went to a Petfinder.com organization in each U.S. state, one in Washington D.C., one in Puerto Rico, and one each for the top two shelters in Canada. Again, we found that these winning organizations came in all sizes and types, rural and urban, big and large, and breed specific and general rescue operations. What mattered were their supporters, who got out the word and kept coming back week after week to vote!

Spring 2009 State Winners

"Your kindness helps to benefit the more than 600 birds who call The Oasis Sanctuary their home, and to ensure that they will thrive and live out their lives in an atmosphere of loving care. These funds will be used to construct mini-flights so the birds can live with flocks of their own kind. Without your support, fulfillment of such projects would not be possible."

2008 Shelter+ Challenge Winners (Sep-Dec 2008)

GreaterGood.org (GGO) is proud to announce the following were the 2008 winners in the "THE ANIMAL RESCUE SITE $100,000 SHELTER+ CHALLENGE — together with PETFINDER.COM". More than 3 million votes were cast in the 2008 Challenge and the winners were split evenly between large and small organizations. More than 55 grants were awarded by GreaterGood.org and Petfinder.com Foundation during the course of the Challenge as follows:

The 2008 Grand Prize - a $25,000 grant to help animals - went to the South Wood County Humane Society, of Wisconsin Rapids, WI. This community shelter got out the vote by plastering local businesses with flyers, going into their local schools to talk about the need to care for pets and the joys of adoption, approaching their local media to write about the Shelter+ Challenge, and spreading the word through family and friends via the Internet.

"Amazing. Unbelievable. Heartwarming. I was stopped literally hundreds of times by people excited to tell me they were voting, and who they had roped into voting with them."
Phil Hartley, Executive Director, South Wood County Humane Society, Winner 2008 Grand Prize

The 2008 Runner Up - recipient of a $10,000 grant to help animals - went to Best Friends Animal Society, of Kanab, UT. Although located in a remote and rural area of Utah, this Internet-savvy group was able to find support across the country for their cause, spreading the word via e-mail, blogs, and their website.

Below are the winners of the 2008 regional prizes. A $1,000 grant went to a Petfinder.com organization in each U.S. state, one in Washington D.C., one in Puerto Rico, and one each for the top two shelters in Canada.

"We were so proud here in Wynne, Arkansas, especially since we started voting about two weeks after [the Challenge] started. It means the world to us and will help us save more of our friends."
Kathy, Wynne Friends of Animals, Winner 2008 Arkansas State Grant
