9/18/08 to 3/13/09
3/14/09 to 4/1/09**

This year, the makeover contest is in divided in 3 phases: In the first one, shelters supporters earn points by being active on zootoo for their affiliated shelter. The top 20 shelters become semi-finalists. During phase 2, Zootoo and its advisors will tour these shelters and view their condition in order to narrow the 20 Semi-finalists down to 10 Finalists. During phase 3, it will be up to America to vote on the most deserving shelter. The shelter with the highest number of public votes by America will win the makeover! For the complete set of rules, please see the contest rules (‡) below.
