The holiday season just got a little brighter, thanks to the incredible entries we received for this year’s Holiday Pet Photo Contest!

    Blazey was a winner in our books!
  

“After recently undergoing surgery to remove his eye, our rescue Blaze may not be the best reindeer to guide Santa's sleigh, but he'll still go down in history!! 🎶”

Blaze’s story of resilience and his festive reindeer costume earned him the top spot and our community’s admiration.
