2nd Place: Pete the Sneak von haus Hagist

Pete escaped from Second Chance Angels in El Paso, Texas in 2018 and has long since left his days of being an angel in the past. These days Pete the Sneak enjoys playing tricks on his stinky brother Oscar, frolicking in his yard or the park, plotting against the neighborhood cats, and sneaking sips of his mommy’s wine. Pete says “vote for me or else!”

Kaipo Lango

My name is Kaipo, which stands for “Good Heart”. I am a 2-year-old Florida Huskey that enjoys the outdoors with my Dadda. I like playing fetch, hanging out with friends, finding fish, and going for swims. TV time on the couch is also nice and relaxing.

3rd Place: Phoebe & Fluffy Orenstein

Meet Fluffy and Phoebe – Double the cat-itude, double the cuteness! These two feline troublemakers are here to whisker you away into a world of mischief and meowgic. Resistance is futile against their irresistible charm… “VOTE FOR US,” they say!

Ellie Pickett

Is that a chicken?! Yes, it is! Ellie is a 2-year-old black copper maran hen. She caught CRD and beat it, laying all the way through her illness. (We threw those out.) She is at the very top of the pecking order. She is known for her notorious big brown egg! She won the Neighbors’ Choice Award for best egg! She enjoys weeding and keeping the bugs out of the garden. When it’s hot outside she doesn’t mind a dip in the pool and taking a sip of literally whatever the humans are drinking. Dominos Pizza once gave her a shout out on her Instagram photo. Don’t walk outside with food, this girl will jump on your plate! #teamALPHAhen wants your vote!

Stogie Brecheisen

Stogie is the best all around Bulldog. These days, Stogie’s favorite pastime is sleeping but back before escaping prison for running cigars, he enjoyed sledding in the snow! He would say he likes cheering for “The Kansas City Cannon,” but he leaves the cheering to his sister and mommy. Stogie pairs nicely with a Remi Martin.
