Congratulations to Elliot "Fuzz Lightyear," one of the finalists in Jonesboro Occasions 2015 Cutest Pet Photo Contest. Fuzz Lightyear is counting on your votes to win!

"My name is Elliot 'Fuzz Lightyear' Moore. My parents Josh and Cara Moore from Jonesboro drove over an hour to adopt me from a shelter about a year ago. I am very rambunctious and love to run all over the house. You can usually find me running around the house throwing my favorite toy dino that my human brother got from the dentist. I don't meow like a normal cat, I either squeak like a squeak toy or make Chewbacca noises when I walk. My family absolutely loves me!"

A big thank you to everyone who submitted a photo to our annual Cutest Pet Photo Contest. We had a record 325 entries, so it was very difficult to narrow down the submissions. After careful consideration, we decided on these top 20 local pets; from here on, it’s up to you!

IMPORTANT VOTING INSTRUCTIONS: Each of the 20 photos will have its own post on Jonesboro.com. On the bottom of each pet photo post, there is a place to rate it between one and five stars. The winner will be determined by the highest average star score. Voting ends at 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 23. The winners will be published in the August issue of Occasions.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 870.931.0012, email us at audrey@jonesborooccasions.com, post it on our Facebook page (Jonesboro Occasions) or tweet it to us @JboroOccasions.

Thanks so much, and good luck to all our finalists!
