Best Dressed
Franklin
The pet that had us all laughing!
“Ollie was adopted from AHS in 2017 and has been the happiest, funniest and snuggliest pup for our family ever since! He was found with a broken leg when he was just 2 month old! After nurturing him back to health as a foster pup, we couldn’t give him up and adopted him shortly after! There’s not a day that goes by that Ollie doesn’t make us laugh! He’s such a joy!!”
For the pet whose grin could melt hearts!
Paws down the most fashionable!
“Franklin is an almost 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He lives for playdates with his pup pals, hopping in the car for any adventure, and expertly locating the squeaker in every toy he meets. When he’s not on the move, you’ll find him curled up watching reality TV. Franklin is equal parts cuddle bug and curious explorer, always ready to love and be loved.”
Cutest Couple
Siri & Bree
Most Likely to Be Napping in Class
Petunia

Neville Hotspur
Double the fluff, double the charm!
“Siri and Bree are inseparable! Both are 7 years old and they adore each other. Bree, the Doodle is always cleaning Siri’s face and giving kisses! Both are rescues, Adopt a Golden and Releash Atlanta.”
Because beauty sleep is serious business.
For the pet serving serious style with every strand.
“Neville Hotspur was rescued from underneath a car in front of me at a McDonald’s drive-thru. He fit into my hand. His veterinarian said he was only about five weeks old and weighed 1.2 pounds. He started out as a short haired tabby but grew into a magnificent long haired lion with a full mane and glamorous tail. Friends have said he could be a cover model for feline romance novels. Neville Hotspur is trained to walk on a leash and loves exploring the wild kingdom of his yard. He is love wrapped in fur.”

Thank You for Supporting the Animals
Thanks to your votes and donations, this year’s Cutest Pet Contest raised vital funds to support pets in need right here in our community. Every dollar helps us provide medical care, food, enrichment, and the love and support animals deserve.
But your impact also goes beyond the animals. It uplifts the people who love them, too. We can’t run programs like Pets in Crisis Support or offer low-cost vaccine clinics without the compassion and generosity of our supporters.
