And remember to vote for your favorite dog photo here! Contest ends in a few days.

I will let Julie tell you about Cuda:

Our Story

Cuda is a congenital miracle who somehow survived and ended up in our family when she was five months old.  She was given to us at a gas station by a couple who had said they rescued her.  Upon examination you can see that she bears several obvious traits of an inbred dog, including a fused neck, curved spine, hunched back, hocked rear legs and an exaggerated under bite.  She has received a clean bill of health and continues to thrive, playing with our other dogs and cats.  Our goal is to promote the awareness pit bull tolerance, inbreeding, line breeding and overpopulation.

The Impact

By taking Cuda to the World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma California in June 2011 we hope to make the public aware of the ramification of overpopulation of animals, risks associated with Inbreeding and pit bull tolerance.

#13 In Our Dog Photo Contest - Meet Wilson

Wilson

This is my Australian Shepherd, Wilson.  He is a wonderful dog and has been my “savior”.  During a most difficult time in my life when I felt most alone and on an “island”, I named him after the volleyball in the movie “Castaway” with Tom Hanks.  Similar to that volleyball, my Australian Shepherd provided me with companionship and support.   Laura

GUS - Meet # 12 In Our Photo Contest

Feeeeed Meeeeeeeee!!!!  
It works for baby birds – should work for me too.
 This is one of my favorite photos of my foster puppy Gus.
Gus came into Chicagoland Shepherd Rescue and quickly stole everyone’s hearts -
as well as their newspapers, shoes, coffee mugs and anything else in reach.
He has since rescued a lovely family and a Jack Russell named Alice.

Meet Bentley - Contestant # 11 in Dog Photo Contest

This is Bentley, my 15 week old puppy! He is a mischievous little thing and gets into all sorts of trouble! Whenever he does something he knows he's not suppose to do he likes to try and hide!

"My name is Bentley and I'm trying to blend in with my mum's shoes...I just chewed her favorite rug! They can't see me, they can't see me!"

Thank you,

Roscoe Brewer - Entry # 10 in Dog Photo Contest

Roscoe Brewer close-up!

Roscoe Brewer:
Woof!  I’m Roscoe and I LOVE to play.  Some people see me coming and they say “Whoa… a German Shepherd” in a nervous voice while moving way over to the edge of the sidewalk (sometimes they even cross the street!).  What they don’t know is that I’m the sweetest guy around and just dying for a chance to smooch them!

Entry in Photo Contest #9 Siblings Wilbur and Cherokee

Two dogs on this contest post!

We rescued Wilbur and Cherokee in November 2002. These brother and sister pups were found under the steps of my office. We named the black one Wilbur, because he would grunt like a pig when you were holding him. We named the reddish brown one Cherokee, because they were found on Cherokee St.

Wilbur and Cherokee are the best of siblings. And Cherokee takes very good care of her brother, Wilbur, by cleaning him on a regular basis. As I type, the two are sleeping side by side on their dog beds. Where one goes - the other one must follow.

Thank you for having this photo contest. We'd love to win and have $300 donated to Pick of the Litter, a rescue center near Dallas, GA.

Regards,
Lenore Meeks
