While the majority of the pet photo contest winners from last year do seem to be finding homes, several are still looking. We can expect to find more pets still looking for homes in the second half of the year because they've had less time.
So let's proceed...Opie, the terrier, may have been adopted.
Dash the Doberman may have been adopted.
Iman and Bowie, the kittens, may have been adopted.
Apple, Apricot, and Artichoke have positively been adopted.
Sammy, the Australian Shepherd, may have been adopted.
Jett, the Australian Shepherd, has definitely been adopted.
Austin, the Australian Shepherd who was too smart for his own good, may have been adopted.
Banjo, the Australian Shepherd, may have been adopted.
Annie, the Australian and German Shepherd mix, has been adopted.
Aveena in New York City is still looking for a good home, and doesn't even have an updated photo.
What's keeping her unadopted? Shelter staff say she's a talker, and they mean a talker. She wants not to be picked up or stroked, but to be talked to, when she chirps at humans. Based on my acquaintance with Serena and Traveller I would consider the possibility that she's trying to establish a pidgin language she can use to communicate, at least to give simple commands. After working out a language she may settle down a bit, though she's also said to prefer games to snuggles. If only because Serena's been a profoundly lovable cat and great fun to know, all these years, I'd guess that Aveena might be another wondrous pet, perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime pet. The problem may be that the shelter staff ask too many questions before arranging for the cat to meet prospective adopters.
Lucious, the white kitten, has been adopted.
Larkspur and Hyacinth, the white and gray kittens, have been adopted together.
Thelma and Louise, who are actually in Puerto Rico but have a second-chance web page in New York City, are still up for adoption. Here's Louise:

The shelter staff mention that these are good-sized, energetic dogs looking for an active, even athletic human to run with. That's the main reason why some dogs get into shelters but it's a valid reason why some people adopt them. Maybe it's the idea of bringing the dog all the way from Puerto Rico that's putting people off. So, maybe a web site that's read in the Southeastern States can help. Maybe readers in Florida can get a discount on transportation fees for a pair of lovable, cuddly, sterilized she-hounds. (Thelma is not as pretty as Louise, but they say she's a dear girl too.)
Valentina, the tough little Rat Terrier, may have been adopted.
Dolly from Peachtree City, Georgia, is still seeking a home. Shelter staff still haven't taken a new photo of her or put any further information about her on her web page.

You can do this, Gentle Readers! Share these photos everywhere and see if we can't Picture Them Homes.
