The 2015 Finalists
Junior is my hero because he survived an inauspicious beginning to become a warm and loving friend. He was only 3 weeks old and 1.4 pounds when I found him shivering by the side of the road. With a lot of loving care and around the clock attention he thrived. On his first birthday this July 15th he weighs a healthy and happy 10 pounds and is grateful to have been rescued. He is the best buddy I ever had.
As beautiful as she is, Augusta was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was turned in to Orange Co. Animal Control by someone who found her outside, declawed, covered in fleas and severely underweight. Thanks to her microchip, they determined that this was the SECOND TIME she had been turned in! For the last three years, she has been in my care. Two years ago, an oil portrait of her was sold to benefit the SPCA. I think it’s wonderful that after her frightening start, she has retired to a life of ease and modeling.
Lilly is truly the sweetest and most loving pet anyone could ask for. She is a Beagle/Jack Russell mix that loves to cuddle, play and just hangout with the family. She and her 4 siblings were found abandoned and spent their first 8 weeks of life on their death beds being treated for malnutrition and Parvo. They were not even given names because they weren’t expected to survive. Luckily, we saw puppy #4 at a rescue event and it was puppy love at first sight.
We were not looking to get a dog, especially a St. Bernard, but when we saw Bella we immediately knew we wanted her as part of our family! We rescued Bella a year and a half ago but in actuality, she has rescued us. Our son moved back in with us this year and she has provided much loyalty, companionship, unconditional love, hugs and kisses when he needed it most. We are so blessed to have Bella in our family…she is truly a best friend to each of us and we don’t know what we would do without her!
My dog Byron is my hero because no matter what he greets me with a wagging tail and a smile. No really, he literally smiles by pulling his top lips above his teeth. No matter what kind of day I have had, he immediately makes it better. He is everything a gal could want in a best friend. He is loyal, protective, positive, forgiving and non-judgmental. How many humans do you know that you can say the same for?
Phillipe was surrendered to Pet Alliance in his older years. His new family couldn’t be happier with their furry family member! At 15 years old, he still loves to play, go to the dog park and have his back scratched. His favorite activity is visiting his friends at Orlando Health and Rehab, where he is a pet therapy dog. Phillipe brings joy to all who meet him and ask, “is he a puppy!” Phillipe asks you to adopt from Pet Alliance – his many friends there are waiting to fulfill your life with love and joy… 🐾 Please visit today!
