Super Dog Sunday for Petfinder:
Football-Themed Dog Photo Contest

by Carrie Boyko, CEB
You found us! We're right here all set to have our own version of Game Day: Super Dog Sunday™. Today is Super Bowl XLVI. Who knows what number that translates to? Feel free to get the conversation going in the comments section. Believe it or not, there are prizes for that too! Yup; you can win just by leaving some comments below.


Please note that many of the full images in the Blog Hop below have been cropped to fit. The complete image will often be a big surprise, with additional theming, clever signs, captions, and head dresses on some. Please visit the posts to enjoy the full fun of the artistry of all these photos.


Okay, enough about comments. I suppose you're here to look at all the cute pet photos, or maybe you want to link up yours. If you need help, shoot a quick email to us at EventBarkers@gmail.com. Entries will remain open to blogger linkups until 9 PM. If you need to send in your photo for posting, please send it to EventBarkers@gmail.com no later than 6 PM EST today. 


The linky will close at 9 PM ET for the judges to begin deliberations. Winners will likely be announced Monday, but if a quick decision can be made, there may be an announcement on Sunday night late. We'll see how long our judges can make it. They are not getting paid for their services, so we have to be reasonable in our requests!


Our charity beneficiary, Petfinder Foundation, is thrilled to thank our sponsors, Gringa Loka, PetHub, Tom Bihn, and Wag for their generous support in making this all possible. Their donations have set the example for all of you. Pets matter! If you have anything to spare today, consider sharing a small donation, whatever that may be to you. Just click the link or any of the Petfinder Foundation banners you see on my site.


No credit card? No problem! You can even make a $10 donation with a simple text message from your phone. This small amount that you will hardly miss will show up on your phone bill next month. Please be sure to imagine the good it did when your bill arrives. Just follow the instructions on the image at the right. It will make you feel good to know you have helped.


If you enjoy the photos, won't you help us out? Maybe a Tweet about Super Dog Sunday or a message to your friends on your Facebook wall. 


Finally, notice that there are "Like" links under the entries below. You can vote for the MVP (most valuable pup!) in today's contest by clicking the "Like" under the entries you think are best. YOU will determine who wins this category.


Watch for a slideshow of entries, both here and on Dogtipper.com tomorrow. We'll also be announcing all the winners and their prizes tomorrow. Enjoy the show!

Super Dog Sunday™ is a charity event to support homeless pets. All proceeds of this event go to Petfinder Foundation. There is no purchase necessary to enter the photo contest, nor are you required to donate in order to enter your photo.

  9. Hello! Great shots! Carrie, nothing seems to happen when I hit a like button. Is that because I share a network with other voters? We're not on the same computer. Thanks!

  10. @Rick: That is possible since you're probably on the same I.P. address. I'm not sure how it works, but there are some controls for over-zealous voters :) Sorry!

  11. @Sharon Gilbert: I see we received another photo from you of Schooner. We'll get the other one up shortly, as it is apparently your preferred entry. Thanks for the heads up.

  12. @Misty: Me too! You never know how many will actually show up until it arrives. It's looking great so far!

  22. Wow some of these photos are just fantastic! Great job everyone, well done! I can't wait to see who wins (and not just for my sake, I want to see who all the winners are in each category - this is such great FUN!) One question though, why aren't the email photos showing up here? Is that just because this is the blog hop part? Just curious, I thought all the entries would be on here, that's all. <3 <3 <3 Super Dog SUNDAY!

  27. @Jules: Ralphie was published in the blog posts, but somehow did not get linked up to the Hop. I apologize; it was my fault. Please visit Ralphie here: http://www.allthingsdogblog.com/2012/02/super-dogs-keep-rolling-in.html

    Thank you for letting me know and again, I sincerely apologize for leaving him off of the Blog Hop. Happy tails!
