WE HAVE A "BEST PET" WINNER!

As you’ve probably guessed, the Chihuahua Mia F. won our “Best Pet” competition by a landslide! The littlest gal in the running received by far the biggest show of support in the competition, and it’s no surprise.

Mia came to CUVS in the Fall of 2011 with a collapsing trachea. She was a patient of ours for several months and while her medical condition was one of those incredibly complicated cases that we could not ultimately save, we’ve yet to see a more dedicated owner than her mom Kelly Falconieri, and a bigger show of support from her many admirers. During her time here, and through Kelly’s tireless efforts on Facebook and IMOM.org, Mia captured the hearts of hundreds of people, many of them strangers, who donated to Mia’s cause and to her treatment. We even had people calling us here to contribute to her treatments! Although Mia is no longer with us, it is obvious that she is still in the hearts of the many who supported her through her treatment, and gaining followers even now!

Not only was Mia an incredible little girl, but Kelly is a great example of an absolutely incredible pet owner, and we’re pleased to announce them both the winners. Kelly will be receiving a gift certificate to Pet Pantry Warehouse, one of our favorite spots to get ANYTHING you could need for your pet and more.

Thank you again to everyone who sent us pictures of their pets – it was a wonderful week getting to share your furry friends and see everyone’s enthusiasm and love for their animals.

Thank you to the Pet Pantry Warehouse for this great prize!
