Contest Details:

Make your dog a star!  Now is your chance to show your dog to the world.  He/she will vie for the chance to be forever ensconced in the new “Beach Blanket Bosco” first run edition.  Only the top 27 will win a spot in the book.

The Low Down: This is the second book in the “Bosco” series.  The original was so well received that we decided to honor select dogs (perhaps your dog) by placing their image within the pages of the book.  A great way to commemorate or memorialize your beloved friend!

It’s a Contest – Put Your Money Where Your Paw Is:  The gist of the contest is you submit to us a picture of your dog using the form below.  Tell all of your friends.  Your dog receives votes from followers on our website.  Votes are made by purchasing books or other merchandise under your dog’s voting page.  So maybe take care of some of that holiday shopping list?  Your supporters can also just make a donation.  The top 27 dogs who raise the most will win their spot in the book!

Supporting a Dog Rescue Charity: In case you may think: “Hey Cool Water Ripple, what’s in it for the doggies?” Well, we’re glad you asked. This will be a progressive share for Danny & Ron’s Rescue, based on money raised.  And this is how that works:

  • $1.00 to $1000 – 10%
  • $1001 to $2500 – 15%
  • $2501 to $5000 – 25%
  • $5001 to $9999 – 35%
  • $10000 to $15000 – 45%
  •  $15000 plus – 50%

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why Danny & Ron’s?  Since 2005, Danny & Ron have grown their outreach, actively seeking to rescue dogs from junkyards, animals chained to trees or living in small cages, abandoned pets living on the streets, dogs left homeless by hurricanes, bait dogs used in dog fighting, and hundreds of dogs from shelters—often moments away from euthanasia.

Danny & Ron’s Rescue is unlike any other rescue organization. Because an abused or neglected dog can only recover and learn to trust again when it is in a loving home, Danny and Ron have turned their own house into the ultimate safe haven. There, they personally care for injured and abused animals until they are ready for adoption. Each dog receives a wellness check from our veterinarian, is then spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, groomed, and loved.  But most important, each dog is treated like part of the family, fed organic dog food from its own bowl, and even allowed to sleep in the bed. The opportunity to live with humans and other dogs in a real home environment is the best way to prepare a dog for adoption and a life with a loving family. We are also proud to be one of the only organizations that does not charge a pre-set adoption fee and instead relies on an affordable donation from the adopter.

What your pupsters get: Simply put: STARDOM

  1. First place winner (top vote getter) Bam! Back Cover Your dog’s mug for eternity right there emblazoned on the back cover of a hardbound children’s book.
  2. Second place finisher – Their picture will be found somewhere in the confines of the story. A bit of magic performed here.
  3. Third place finisher – Similar to the second-place finisher. Just in another spot.
  4. Every other pooch gets their photo and a brief bio/message in a gallery in the back of the book. Kudos to Fidos.
