So far I have not figured out how to vote. When I put in Rikki's Refuge, VA, in the search box it came back with 0 shelters found. Am still trying.

I just typed in Rikki's in the search, and on the one where you select the state, selected Virginia, and it came up. You have to identify an animal that is shown, to finalize your vote...it was a cow when I voted, and that was all there was to it.

marilyn - I just did it exactly as you did and it is still showing 0 shelters found. Don't know what the problem is. :(

I wonder if I have been here and voted before so it won't take?? We only have until midnight.

I voted. I typed in everything also had to confirm my vote.

Still nothing. I don't get it.

Even had I been there before, you are allowed to vote daily so that can't be it. So I had opened the link in a new window, so closed it and just clicked on the link. Also, I had copied and pasted the rescue name so I deleted it and typed it in. I'm getting nowhere fast!

Moonie, when I did the search (put in Rikki's only) it said 0 at first, then a few seconds later Rikki's Refuge showed up. I got my vote in. They are pretty far behind now it looks like.

Now I have only selected country and state and still get 0 hits. Sorry, I just have to give up. It's driving me crazy.

I finally was able to vote--took me several times to get in--I confirmed with an elephant--LOL

Done deal!

I put in the URL she posted and pulled the voting site right up. I thought I would check it out to see if there was a contact number to confirm it was the real deal. I Googled "Rikki's Refuge in Orange, Virginia" and the actual refuge came up.

Done!

Done deal here as well!

Still no deal!

I also put in the URL rather than clicking the link and the only thing I got this time was "page not found".

done, easy enough

Moonie, when you get the purple box that says "0" shelters, look down at the bottom of the box and see if it says Rikkis.

Thank you everyone for the help!

Done! It was simple. The only problem I had was my own stupidity. I mistakenly clicked on VT instead of VA and the city of Orange. So of course it came up with 0 first. When I corrected that it was fine and came up with 2 results in Orange, VA.

I didn't put in the name of the shelter at all. I just chose VA as the state and Orange as the city, then chose Rikki's when the 2 popped up.

Okay, obviously I am doing something wrong and apparently doing it wrong approximately 50 times! LOL

Anyone see the problem?

moonie, I can't remember if the name of the shelter came up with an apostrophe or not. Try leaving the name of the shelter blank (it's optional). Choose VA (as you have) and type Orange into the City field (you can see where it says (optional). So you'll just have VA and Orange, then search. It should come up with 2 shelters (you'll probably have to scroll down).

done!

*sigh*

That was my last attempt. TV time.

Now that's just weird. Sorry it didn't help, moonie.

It didn't accept my first attempt at putting grizzly bear in for the pic.
So I typed in bear, and it didn't like that one either.
Another picture of a bear showed up, and I typed in bear, and it kicked me out.

Good luck to Rikki's Shelter!

My elephant confirmation took too.

Spent way too much time shopping on that site. T-shirt I wanted came up for $16.95 when I first saw it but by the time I looked at more pages and went back to order it was coming up $19.95. Maybe I'm just tired and mistaken. I'll vote and check again tomorrow.
