 Nominated by Timber
Timber came to us 3 years ago on the 4th of July as a foster care dog from Husky Savers. He had been a stray that was abused and neglected. By fall of that year, he adopted our hears then and forever. He has such a teddy bear face and speaks volumes with his big brown eyes. His favorite spot is his doggie bed next to his daddy's recliner. And he loves to play with Nala, Boo and Oreo, our other 3 Siberians. Timber has overcome so much, we are so proud of him. We love you Timber.

5 years ago on Christmas Eve, a call came in about a hound in need at a local shelter. He was in danger of being put to sleep and had a severe case of demodex mange. It was Christmas Eve and so the red mangy hound was saved. After several foster homes, he then came to me….feisty healthy and still bald. He has become a “legend” with in Suncoast Basset Rescue with all of his escapades. As fund raisers he has had is own university Hollis Brown University to teach bassets how to be bassets.

 Submitted by Niko
I have Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that I show . And ,since Akitas are generally dog aggressive, rescue was my only option. Niko was 1 1/2 when he came to live with us and "thinks" he's actually a Cavalier. Puppies will crawl all over him and he tries hard not to play too rough. 8 yrs later we don't know how we'll ever replace him. He is one in a million and a credit to his breed.

 Sumbitted by Sam
I adopted Sam in November 2000. He clearly had suffered from abuse. In May 2002, Sam, as a Therapy Dog Inc. certified dog, was accepted to be a therapy dog in the Edward Hospital Animal Assisted Therapy Dog program in Naperville, Illinois, which is now the largest hospital based therapy dog program in the country. Sam, who the vet guesses to be 12 years old, just retired after six plus years in the program. Thank you Dallas/Ft.Worth Sheltie Rescue!

 Submitted by Coco
I adopted Coco from Pet Rescue in Miami , FL this year. They are a no-kill shelter with dedicated employees who matched me with this beautiful Maine Coon cat, who was not the friendliest of the 55 cats they had available for adoption. Due to Kat Sullivan’s knowledge of animals, I trusted her recommendation and Coco is now the most loving cat ever (she took her last bite the day I took her out of the shelter). I would highly recommend this incredible organization to find a pet!

 Submitted by Luna
Luna had been given to pug rescue by a former owner who kept her in a crate all day with her sister. He confided he also kept a cardboard box in the crate so she would not be able to move around much. This way there would be no bathroom accidents for him to clean up at the end of the day.
Bob and Jan took Luna to her new home last year.
