A paragraph that tells voters something fun or interesting about the dog in the photo. Is this a NMAR dog?  If so, how long has he or she been a part of your family?  Can you share something special that we could include on our calendar if your photo wins?
We met our sweet Lily in May of 2015 when we were fostering her for NMAR after she had surgery for a broken leg. She originally was only supposed to be with us a few weeks and from the moment I laid my eyes on her beautiful blue eyes, I knew I would have a hard time letting her go. I believe it was love at first sight for all of us. She has since become a member of our family and has brought a lot of joy and chaos to our life. She has an endless amount of love and energy that she gives to all of us everyday, especially our chihuahua Tiny Tim. I am grateful that we agreed to foster her for NMAR because we ended up adopting an amazing dog.
