CUVS' Pet Talent Contest

Enter CUVS' Pet Talent Contest!

Every one of us thinks that our pet is the most amazing animal ever - On National Pet Week, let’s give them a chance to shine!

Does your pet have a special or unusual talent? Send us a video to prove it. If your entry receives the most votes, your talented pet will be featured on our homepage and blog. And you’ll win a CUVS fleece. This contest isn’t limited to just cats and dogs, so get out your video camera or smart phone and capture your cat, fish, dog, horse, hamster, guinea pig or ferret doing something extraordinary!

All entries will be posted in our Most Talented Pet album on our Facebook page. The video that gathers the most “likes” will be the winner! You can email entries to smueller@cuvs.org, or send us a facebook message with your video as an attachment. Make sure to include a brief description so that we know what we’re looking at! Once your video is up, feel free to share it with your friends, family, coworkers and neighbors and encourage them to vote for your pet! We will accept entries until 5pm on Thursday, May 23rd and will announce the winner the next week.

Get those cameras rolling and let’s see what your pet can do!

Best Pet Winner

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!
