They’re here! Our Pines Pawtraits Finalists
The response to our Pines Pawtraits competition has been incredible. We received more than 700 entries showing pets of the Gold Coast living their best lives in a wonderful natural environment.
If you haven’t viewed all the Pines Pawtraits yet, it’s a brilliant collection of pet photography by owners and so distinctly Gold Coast. See the natural charm and dog given talent for posing these animals have. There’s Rachel and Stuart, Blossom the Wessex Saddleback (that’s a pig!) and Echo the Coastal Python. Ren the Sphynx cat has no hair, and there’s a smart Little Goat called Elliot, ready to party! They’re riding in bicycle baskets, dressed to impress, running on beaches and sitting by the creeks and pools of the Gold Coast! We loved going through them all and it was difficult to keep the finalists to just 60.
View the finalists and vote
The most popular pet pawtrait and one lucky voter will WIN a $250 shopping voucher and the top 14 pets with the most votes will appear in the next 4 ASD Kids Calendar, on sale in November. 4 ASD Kids is a charity that sponsors kids affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders.
