The competition was held from February 28, 2010 through March 18, 2010. A panel of Bark Busters judges selected the top five finalists, and the winners were determined by real-time public vote and announced on April 19, 2010. The grand-prize winner was Zoe, a bull mastiff from Schaumburg, Il; the second-place winner was Nika, a Siberian Husky/Chihuahua mix from Park City, UT; and the third-place winner was Violet, a Vizsla, from Phoenix, .

As the grand-prize winner, Zoe and her family were awarded a $500 donation to a local animal-related charity of their choice and a Bark Busters gift bag worth $100. Zoe’s family chose to give the donation to the Almost Home Foundation, an all volunteer, not-for-profit, charity organization dedicated to rescuing stray and abandoned animals from surrounding areas of Illinois. The second-place winner, Nika, and the third-place winner, Violet, were awarded Bark Busters gift bags worth $75 and $50, respectively.
