Bunker is a 4 year old yellow lab. He is an arson dog (K-9 Accelerant) and goes to work every day with Jackie Pellek's husband (who is the Fire Official in Roxbury Twp.) Bunker LOVES the snow and football so this picture was just him being his usual happy, playful self! His family thinks he is one amazing boy. |
Boomer was adopted from BARKS over two years ago, and he has been a wonderful addition to his parents' home. He is about 7-8 years old and comfortably approaches about 25 pounds-- he's a big boy! Boomer is a loving and sensitive cat who has become mommy's favorite and a bit, OK, a lot, spoiled! |
Chickie is a Wellsummer chick and this was her first outing in the backyard. She loved eating at the sunflower petals. Chickie has 11 siblings that were also out exploring the yard that day. Bill Miko, Chickie's owner, is a member of the Sussex County Poultry Fanciers and enjoys showing chickens. His grandchildren love playing with them as well as collecting the eggs and learning the care and responsibility of owning pets of any kind. |
Runners-up
Twelve pet photos, 4 for each category, were chosen from over 100 entries by our judges (who were blinded to photographer identities). Here is a slideshow of the other finalists who were on display at the BARKS booth on Byram Day:Honorable Mentions
Congratulations to all the winners! And if your photo wasn't chosen, please, don't feel bad - the competition was stiff! Have fun taking more photos of your wonderful pet and try again next summer when the 2nd Annual BARKS Pet Photo Contest calls for submissions.
Your donation will help purchase food and supplies for the animals of BARKS while they wait for their forever homes.
