Conwagulations to everyone who participated in the seventh Annual Adopt/Rescue Stroll and Contest! Dogster is proud to share the inspiring stories of rescue and adoption from the 2012 winners.
1. Grand Prize Winner: Todd
Todd the Pomeranian started his life in a hoarder’s house with 40 other dogs. Read his winning rescue story.
2. Second Prize Winner: Idgie
Idgie, a Chow Chow/German Shepherd mix, takes home second prize for sharing how a chicken-and-rice burrito tamed an abandoned dog found in a parking lot!
3. Third Prize Winner: Captain
Captain the Dalmatian was crated in a dark, cold basement for up to 20 hours a day before his rescue at 6 months old.
Special Needs Winner: Van Winkle

Sassy’s Seniors Winner: Houndy
Houndy the Labrador Retriever waited nine long years at a rescue organization before he was adopted.
Rainbow Angel Winner: Conner
