And the winner is...

The winner of the Spring 2006 Cutest Pet Contest is Dianka, a ten-month-old Bichon Frise!


Congratulations to Dianka and her guardian, Andrea Mendez. This adorable picture earned just over $15 in donations. Andrea will receive a gift certificate to Pet Supermarket.

The Cutest Pet Contest was held on February 9 in conjunction with the Humane Society Animal Adoption. Contributions totaled $50.40, half of which will go to the Humane Society of Greater Miami. The other half will go to SALDF to be used for supplies for future events.

Other contenders included Puggy the Pug, Gizmo the Bunny, Taylor the Caique Parrot, and Spike the Russian Tortoise. Thank you to all of our participants and generous voters!
