Odie: There was something beautiful and, at the same time, a little
heartbreaking about the look in this little guy's eyes. It just
made our judges melt. Odie enjoys a loving home that he shares
with 4 ferret brothers and sisters.

Pogo: Named for his indefatigable energy (and we're assuming general
bounciness), this cat's adoring human adopted him after he had
been abandoned on a hot and sunny street corner in a cardboard
box. We think they both got very very lucky that day. This gorgeous
kitty melted our hearts and made our day!
|
Morgan: AKA Milkbone Morgie - is described by her human as a happy
go lucky senior golden retriever (shes almost 10) who enjoys swimming,
swimming & more swimming (with an occasional milkbone tossed in
on a frisbee, or something like that). We couldn't get over Morgan's
winsome expression. She communicates a lot with those eyes, doesn't
she?
|
Moxie: Adopted from a local shelter, it isn't readily apparent
that this beautiful tuxedo cat has been very ill, but with the
love and care of her devoted human, she is now doing very well.
According to her human, her name means, "the ability to overcome
obstacles with courage." Obviously her human's devotion has played
a big part in Moxie's recovery as well. We wish her and her human
friends the very best.
|
Andy: Nicknamed, "Sunshine boy," this beautiful Yorkie
has been said to brighten up the home he shares with his human
family and three Yorkie Sisters. His devoted human describes him
as both gentle and playful. It is easy to see why he has so quickly
become the center of such lavish affection (those gifts are all
for him, right?)
|
Spunky: Named Spunky for obvious reasons, this adorable white
fox terrier loves to play. She is so devoted to her owner that
they even share the same fashionable reading glasses. We loved
her playful new look so much we decided she was definitely star
material!
|
Minka: Described by her human as a fiesty little girl whose favorite
activities were building nests, digging in the sand box and fishing
for peas, this adorable rat caught our attention because of her
inquisitive look and stance. It's almost as if she is examining
herself in a mirror and pondering the great questions of life.
Or, maybe she's just trying to remember where she left her pea.
Nonetheless, we found her wee little feets and nose irresistable.
|
Savannah Rose: Described as a spoiled, spunky party animal who
liked to dance, Savannah's beautiful dark eyes tell the rest of
the story - she was happy, loved, and devoted to her family. Who
wouldn't want to party when they have all that going for them?
Though Savannah Rose has passed on now, she is remembered with
love as a good friend who knew how to enjoy life.
|
Elmo & Sophia: There is something unbeatably precious about bonded
bunnies snuggled up nose to nose. Elmo was adopted already bonded
with Sophia in June of 2001 and they have remained devoted to
one another ever since. In this photo they were napping. According
to their human, it is common to see them sleeping this way.
|
Andy, Tiffany, Muffin, Melody: These year old Shih Tzu siblings
are as adorable as they are adored in their brightly colored hair
ribbons. Melody, on the far right seems to be very intrigued by
the camera while Andy on the far left seems to be content just
to sit snuggled up with his beautiful sisters.
|
Oracle: Described by her human as "special needs" with
an anxiety disorder and a propensity for exploring her world with
her teeth, this beloved ferret was nonetheless rescued and welcomed
into a loving home where she was doted on and appreciated for her
many gifts. Oracle has since passed on, but she is remembered with
great affection.
