Congratulations to our Crown Dog of Charleston 2020 Winners!
Crown Dog of Charleston 2020
1st Place Winner
Luna Bean
Submitted By: Star R.
Luna Bean is the most amazing little 3 year old. She suffered head trauma as a puppy which resulted in her being partially blind, partially deaf, and a gamut of other medical issues but LB has no idea she’s a tad different. She eats only when elevated and has “upright time” after each meal. She’s had numerous surgeries and often battles aspiration pneumonia but she is always happy and grateful. She just loves life! She is hilarious and sweet and all around perfect in our eyes. Adopting her was a gift!
2nd Place Winner
Teddy
Submitted By: Julie L.
Because he is the goofiest squishiest and lovable pup. How can you not love all those wrinkles.
3rd Place Winner
Charleston Max
Submitted By: Nic P.
Take a look at Max’s Instagram (charlestonmax). We use Max social media presence to support our local homeless/people need as well as spotlight local small businesses. It’s very simple Max walking around town wearing sunglasses, goofy hats and even a Santa beard puts a smile on peoples faces. Hope you enjoy his Instagram account and I’m sure we will eventually meet all of you as we walk around town.
