Forgotten, Now Family

Tell us about your pet and why they should win!
This 9-pound warrior deserves to win the photo contest not just because she’s adorable—with her charming underbite and tiny frame—but because she represents what true resilience looks like. Found in a crack house and starved nearly to death, Harley survived the unimaginable. Despite the cruelty she endured—now recognized with felony animal abuse charges against her abusers—she holds no grudges. Instead, she greets the world with gentleness, trust, and an endless capacity for love.

She’s more than a cute photo; she’s a living testament to the power of second chances. Her image tells a story of survival, strength, and the kind of hope only a rescued dog can teach us. In her eyes, you don’t just see what she’s endured, you see how far she’s come. She reminds us all that compassion can transform suffering into joy. Now safe in foster care, she’s still waiting for her forever home.

This contest is about more than beauty—it’s about heart, and hers is overflowing. Giving her this win would shine a light on the importance of rescue and foster care, and help Harley find her forever family. Harley is not just a foster dog, she’s a reminder of why second chances matter.
