The Winner

The Great American Mutt 2004 Contest

• View the winner of the "Great American Mutt 2004 Contest" and all the runners up. You will see the benefits of adopting or rescuing a shelter dog and just because a pet doesn't appear to be physically flawless doesn't mean he/she isn't the perfect companion.

• Here's a tip on how you can help your local humane society and it won't even cost you a cent. Do you have old but clean newspapers? Many times they have need of these for the puppies in foster care and at the adoption events. So if you're done with the paper it's a great way to recycle and help animals in need.
