PET CONTEST FINALISTS
TOP 20 Izzy She gets a lot of compliments on her adorable face and her beautiful smile. She’s a girly girl to the fullest and loves watching her mama put on make-up and get dressed in the morning. Sometimes she won’t leave her alone until she gets to wear a shirt too! She knows lots of words in English, and her favorite one is “cuddle!” She runs ahead of us and is waiting on the bed before we reach the stairs.

Otis He is a senior hound at 12 years young. He has been the most loyal, best friend a person could ever ask for. He was saved as a puppy mill dog and had some health problems as a pup but grew out of them into a handsome boy. His big ears make him the best listener ever. Submitted by Melissa Ripley
Lucy and Abby We sat for an hour with these two as puppies to see how they interacted with us, and [ultimately] we decided that both would go home. Lucy (black) and Abby (silver) are still so adorable and sweet at four-years-old this year! They love to be held and told how sweet they are, and fetch a toy together, and bring the toy back together with both of their mouths holding it! Submitted by Linda Shepard
Victor This is a sweet kitty with a little devilish streak. He loves to play and is very active. When we pull out the laser pointer he chatters and rips around the house. He was adopted from the Council Bluffs animal shelter. Everyone who meets Victor loves him. Submitted by Laurie Jordan
I can say “cheese!”
Viggo This little guy is quite the character. He’s funny, for instance he enjoys singing in the evenings with his dad. He loves to race, this photo is him showing off his second place trophy from The Running of the Wieners in Grand Island. He loves his family and his sisters and protects us all, especially from the UPS delivery man! He’s one of a kind and a true mama’s boy. I love him dearly. Submitted by Leah Droge
