PUP 1 NAMED: SIMON

Congrats to Tracy for winning the most votes and naming him “Simon… because of the Simon and Garfunkel song ‘The Boxer.’”

Also a special thanks to everyone who suggested a name, or voted, in total we raised more than $200! Not a bad start. Can’t wait to see you all back next week and don’t forget to tell a friend!

pup1

This week’s pup: Born on March 12, Easter Sunday, our first pup is a Boxer / Beagle mix. His mother, a very pregnant beagle daschund cross, was found wandering down a country road dragging a chain. Four days later she gave birth to seven small puppies. He’s a charmer (yup, it’s a boy), who loves nothing more than a warm lap to sit in (at least for now, unsure of how large he’ll get), and a face to rub up against. Finding his forever home would be nice, but settling on a suitable name would be almost as good. Take a look at his little face and let us know what you think he should be called in the comments section below.

This week’s sponsor: TAP’dNY has generously pledged 50 cents for each name suggested, and 25 cents for each vote to the ASPCA.
