Think Your Pet Has Celebrity Potential??

This year, APS is not only looking for a worthy pup for our 2008 Spokesdog Contest, but also a deserving cat for the addition of our 2008 Spokescat Contest!

APS is searching for candidates, who are friendly toward people and other animals, to represent APS at the 2008 Walk for the Animals and other APS events throughout the year.

The contest:
-The Spokesdog and Spokescat contests are an opportunity for APS to recognize

one outstanding dog and one outstanding cat in the community, and for APS to

have representatives at its events.
- Since APS is an advocate of pet spaying and neutering, only those animals that

have been spayed or neutered may qualify to win.
- Entries for each contest will be read and reviewed by a panel of judges at APS and

narrowed down to a small group of finalists.
- Once the dog and cat finalists are chosen, the Herald Sun will post the pictures

where the public will vote online to decide the two winners.

Winners will Receive:

- $50 PetsMart Gift Card
- Satisfaction of seeing your pet as a Local Celebrity!
