THIRD ANNUAL AND
THIRD ANNUAL NEW TIMES AND SUN PET ISSUE PHOTO CONTEST
Pet pride
Take a break with the cutest little companions from across the Central Coast
Find some peace by checking out the winners of our third annual pet photo contest. They’re cute! Really cute. Readers from San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara counties submitted hundreds of images of their fur, feather, and scale babies as part of this year ’ s competition. A panel of in-house judges narrowed them down to the top three in each of five categories—including Best Dressed! Winners get a gift card from issue sponsor Lemos Feed and Pet Supply, and proceeds from entrants' contest fees were donated to the Rancho Burro Donkey Sanctuary in San Luis Obispo, which has a mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and give lifetime homes to abused, abandoned, and neglected donkeys and mules. Flip through the images to feel the love that only an animal can bring!
