Winners Title graphic


We used to allow people to apply for our award but Mommy has volunteered to donate her time and efforts to designing a web site for the local animal shelter (she has to follow their design standards) and has less time to monitor applications. We are going to give out our award to those outstanding pet sites that we find while surfing. If you would like us to surf by your site, be sure to sign our guestbook since we always return the favor. The winners are listed below. If you would like to see the criteria Mommy uses when evaluating a site, go here.
