So, you say you want to help out the JRT rescues from the comfort of your home and computer? Here’s a great opportunity … Subaru of Gwinnett is sponsoring a Facebook contest for rescue organizations that offers us the opportunity to win a donation of either $700 for 1st place, $500 for 2nd place or […]
March definitely came in like a lion … Lots of activities and, best of all, lots of adoptions!
You helped us win 25 beds in the first Shelter Challenge and 100 vaccinnations in the second. Let’s do it again – bigger and better this time by taking state and bringing home a $1,000 grant for Mama Donna’s rescues.
The Celebrations Shelter Challenge (hosted by the Animal Rescue Site and PetFinder Foundation) is an amazing opportunity for shelters and rescues across the country to earn thousands of dollars in grant money every year to help us all keep doing what we do. They are at it again with a grand prize of a $100,000 going to the winning eligible shelter. That’s not all, though – there are hundreds of other prizes that we are eligible to win and any single one of them would be a welcome gift!
There are two ways to help: 1) a simple, anonymous daily vote and/or 2) by taking a few minutes now (and a few seconds each day or as you have time) to join Team Russell, voting and recruiting others to join you in voting as well. The more we recruit, the better shot we have!
Here’s how to do both:
Point your browser to shelterchallenge.com. In the search section, enter “georgia jack russell” and select “ga” from the state drop-down, then click the Search button. This will bring up our rescue to select. When you click our name, you will automatically vote for us.
It will take you to this page that shows you have voted and can vote again tomorrow. That is literally all you have to do to help! Bookmark the page and visit it again in 24 hours to vote.
So you say you want to do more? Awesome! You can join Team Russell and help us recruit others to vote and/or join as well. Who knows, if you recruit the most, we may just have a special Georgia JRT gift for you. 😉
From the voting verification page, click the Join button.
This will take you to the next screen, where the site will ask you for your user name and email. You can use whatever you want as your name, but you’ll need to use a legitimate email address or you’ll never receive the initial password to log in and participate.
After you’ve entered this, click the Choose Your Shelter button. (Yes, unfortunately, they ask you to enter it twice at initial registration; you’ll never have to do this again.)
Once again, search for “georgia jack russell” and “ga” in the fields and click the search button. When we pop up, click the choose link.
This will take you back to the Create Account screen and you should see our name under the Choose Your Shelter button and Default Nominee Name. Next, check the required checkboxes and click the Create Account button to create your account.
This will take you to the login screen and send a password to you via email. Copy and paste the password from your email to log into your account.
If you would like to simplify things and make logging in easier to do/remember, you can instead choose to use your Facebook, Twitter of Google+ account on the right side of the screen. Here’s an example of signing up with your Facebook account. This will retrieve your profile pic and make recruiting a little easier.
It will ask you for a password reminder after that to make sure you’re really who you say you are.
Whatever route you take, you’ll end up back at this screen. This time, however, you should see a welcome banner at the top and show your votes, recruiting efforts, etc.
From here, click the Your Totals & Rewards button to take you to an overview of your recruiting efforts and how you have helped so far. To recruit members, click the Recruit button. You can share the link to our voting page via Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or email. If you’re logged into any of those services in your browser, it will connect you automatically; otherwise, it will ask you for authentication.
Write something if you want, then share on your wall. You can do this as often as you like through the deadline on March 30.

Happy Halloween from Cleo
It’s October again and you know what that means: It’s time for another Halloween costume pet photo contest! Want to play?
Just upload your photo and description below. Don’t forget to tell your friends and stop back every day to vote. Deadline is October 29.
This year’s prize is an awesome goodie bag of human treats (candy and a $25 Starbucks card); dog treats (the good stuff!); a long-sleeved GA JRT rescue shirt (your choice of color and size); and  GA JRT coffee mug for your coffee.
We may be adding additional winning slots/prizes as well, but we are currently relying on our volunteers/supporters to donate them, i.e. we are not using and will not use any rescue donations for this contest. It’s just something we wanted to do for fun. If you have something you’d like to donate as a prize (gift cards are always awesome!), please contact us.

You have helped us win before in the Petco Foundation Photo Contest. Can you do it again?
Join Team Russell! Enter your pet’s photo in Petco’s contest and help us win money for the rescue.
Thanks to everyone who has joined Team Russell in Petco’s “Life Together is Better” photo contest. We’ve only been at it a few days and already have 17 great photos posted and 100 votes in the bank. Only 1,400 more to go! We know it sounds daunting, but it’s still very early in the game. We can do this!
To answer some of the questions you’ve asked …
We have been individually posting the photos on our Facebook page, but if you would like to look at all of our photos at a glance, visit this link and select Georgia Jack Russell Rescue Inc. from the drop-down menu.
We have several photos posted of some of our “older” rescues who the current volunteer team did not have the pleasure of meeting or knowing. We are going to ask Donna for the scoop, but you know how busy she is. If you have time, please send us the story of your rescue – anything you know about their past and how you came to adopt him or her. This will help us tell their story … and pick the perfect team position for them. 😉
