A paragraph that tells voters something fun or interesting about the dog in the photo. Is this a Golden Gate Basset Rescue dog? If so, how long has he or she been a part of your family? Can you share something special that we could include on our calendar if your photo wins?
Coltrane was rescued in Boise, Idaho when he was ten weeks old. When we found him he was suffering from puppy strangles, a rare illness that unvaccinated puppies can catch. He was very weak, dehydrated, and couldn't eat or stand up. We worked hard to help him get healthy and he is now very active and happy, and full of constant affection. At one and a half years old, he loves hiking, snuggling (with kitties and humans alike), walking, playing, and meeting new people. Coltrane is an amazing companion and an important part of our family.
