Kudos to Super Dog Sunday's Cheer Team

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Working tirelessly in the background of this weekend's photo contest was a group of dedicated pet enthusiasts. Some bloggers, others simply active social media users, each did their part to help with announcing, promoting, and educating interested participants in where and  how to get more information.

Cheer Team members were found offering assistance, posting Petfinder adoptable photos, creating Petfinder adoptable entries, answering questions and Tweeting the event that made Super Dog Sunday™ a household word.

We hope you will all share in congratulating this group of ladies for their efforts and work. They have been a godsend to Event Barkers. Paris and I found the much-needed help we lacked last year when we worked for 48 hours straight through, posting photos to the blog hop.

As you visit the blogs on the list below, you may notice the button at right or the badge above. Your comments thanking them for helping will be welcome. Please share in our appreciation by RTing the embedded Tweets below, as a way of saying thank you to our support team. We love you Cheer Team members!

Super Dog Thank Yous to Our Sponsors

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Event Barkers, a partnership of Dogtipper.com and AllThingsDogBlog.com, hosted and produced Super Dog Sunday ™, a charity pet photo contest, to help Petfinder Foundation with their work to aid shelter animals. We have donated our time and prizes to this event. Our generous sponsors have donated funds to Petfinder as well as providing fabulous prizes worth over $1500 to reward 8 on our entrants. Winners will be announced shortly, as we are still awaiting our judges decisions.

Please take a moment to thank our sponsors by visiting their sites or leaving a message at their Facebook or Twitter pages. We know they will all appreciate a word of thanks for their support of this fun and inspiring event.

Additional prizes will be provided by:

I'd love to hear from those of you who participated in the photo contest. Did you and your dog enjoy the process of bonding by creating and taking your photos? I hope you found ways of making it fun and easy for him to enjoy the process. Feel free to share :)  We look forward to bringing your more tips next year, in our continuing effort to help your bond strongly with your pet, while supporting rescue and adoption.

While Super Dog Sunday™ is an annual event, please know that shelter animals are in need of warm beds, food and care year round. You can help by giving of your time, your pocket change and your support of those who are able to generously work on their behalf. Feel free to donate any time of year, and if you are so inclined, your local Petfinder shelter would no doubt love your offer to volunteer with assistance at adoption events, daily care or as a foster family while a forever home is found. Visit this link to locate your nearest Petfinder shelters. Anything you can do to help will be appreciated. Thank you for your support!

Blog the Change for Petfinder

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Blog the Change Day is here and All Things Dog Blog is on the case. We're all wrapped up in a charity fundraiser to help Petfinder Foundation with their work to assist shelters and aid in adoptions. You can make an executive decision right now to be part of the solution by clicking the link to make a donation--small or large--to Petfinder Foundation. Your money will help homeless pets find forever families. What could be more rewarding?

Our event, co-sponsored with Dogtipper.com by our social media events partnership, is called Super Dog Sunday™. That name rolls right off your tongue, doesn't it?! Super Dog Sunday™ is a football-themed photo contest that allows entries of pets as well as themed Petfinder adoptable photos. These can be themed using photo editing techniques, hand artwork or any other methods. We're just happy to have them promoted with their name and a profile page url. We hope to be as lucky as last year and get a few of our promoted Petfinder pets adopted as a result of our efforts.

This photo contest's funds go 100% to Petfinder Foundation. We have a nice lineup of sponsors that have supported Petfinder with cash donations, as well as providing prizes for our photo contest winners. As one of the sponsors, Event Barkers is donating prizes and all our labor to make this event happen. You'll find a list of all the sponsors' social media details below; please check them out and visit them to say thank you. I know they will appreciate your comments.

To help us with Super Dog Sunday™ this year, Event Barkers has also formed a Cheer Team of social media enthusiasts to help promote the event. We're so proud to have a team of dedicated bloggers and Twitterers that are willing to share our passion and pass it on to all of you. Thank you to all of you who volunteered as Cheer Team members. You're a terrific support system for our efforts at Event Barkers, and can count yourself as part of the solution! Thanks for helping Event Barkers Be the Change!
