StubbyDog Superhero Squad Shortlist
August 20, 2012
The moment you have all been waiting for…….the announcement of the shortlist for the very first elite StubbyDog Superhero Squad!!!
A few notes before we get to the good stuff:
As a reminder this is the shortlist of the elite squad, not the Superheroes in Training or the Super-bassadors. Those accepted into each of those programs will be announced on September 10.
This list will be narrowed down to the final squad, which will also be announced September 10.
If you applied to the Superhero Squad and did not make the shortlist, I will be reaching out to you today or tomorrow to discuss why. Honestly, every single one of the applicants were absolutely amazing, so it was tough narrowing it down. You all are superheroes!!
All of the dogs that made the shortlist will be either on the elite squad or Superheroes in training….so give them a huge round of applause and get ready to see these dog/side-kick teams an awful lot in the future.
Voting will open 8 pm EST on Crowdrise and go until September 3rd at 8 pm EST.
Voting will operate much like our calendar and timeline contests, $1 = 1 point
Although the vote count will weight into the final selection process it will not be the sole determining factor. Community vote will be weighted into the decision along with several other things such as; application, interview, references, background, experience, geography an much more.
Drumroll please…..congrats to the shortlist nominees (in alphabetical order):
Big Mama Jubilee and Amy of New Hampshire
Bodacious and Therese of New Jersey
Buddy and Barbara of California
Captain Cowpants and Melissa of Utah
Elle and Leah of North Carolina
Frankie and Teresa of Virginia
Gigi and Stephanie of California
Jeffrey and Michelle of Connecticut
Peaches and Jennifer of North Carolina
Rocco and Valerie of Pennsylvania and Maryland
Skyler and Celene of Georgia and Florida
T-Bone and Karen of New Mexico
Touche and Therese of New Jersey
Head on over to Crowdrise and show them some love!
NO FAIR!!! How do you pick one?? Or two?? Or three?? (you get where I am going with this…). I am going to have to put in some over time for this. *L* They are all exemplary examples of dogs doing what they do best, make us look good, then bring us and others comfort when we need it. Bless the canines in this contest.
DianaJones Oh you are telling us! Do you have any idea how excruciating it was to narrow it down this far! I’m going to be a stress basket the next two weeks trying to narrow these ones down!
Yay Rocco!
Such an honor to be included on a list with so many pawsome dog and human duo’s! Thank you Stubbydog for such a fantastic idea!
