**The contest has now ended. Thank you all who entered and donated!**It is time for the annual Athens GDF Costume Contest!!!!Last year we made almost $900 during our first costume contest, and we are hoping to raise even more this year!! All proceeds will go towards our new puppy sponsorship! It costs $6,000 to sponsor a future service puppy due to selective breeding, transporation, training, and medical costs. Our last puppy that we sponsored is Dooley, who is currently being raised in Athens, GA.To help us sponsor a puppy, please select a dog in costume below to vote for. Then, click on the donation link to the right, and after entering your donation amount leave a comment with the name of the dog and raiser that you are supporting. Whoever raises the most money in their dog's name will win a gift basket valued at at least $50!!Our costume contest will end on October 31st at 11:59 PM.Thank you so much for supporting Athens GDF in their puppy sponsorship!Alice the Mad Hatter - Tori AndreasenAlito the Pooh Bear and his Hunny Pot - Chelcy StanleyAvery - "No lion, I am cute!" - Kathryn FarrBatdog Milo and Robin - Ash Collins (Taken by Kensie Arnold)Beanie Baby Golda - Emily FerrallBri - "Our Bri is cultivated from our finest dogs and is best paired with a tennis ball." - Kaitlin Kinney and Tyler WilliamsCandice the Little Butterfly - Ellen Brady-McGaugheyChrysta the Lab Assistant - Kristen LaFeversCoal the Little Devil - Lenika VianenDarth Navarro - Madison SwabElmer Don't Fear the Reaper - Michelle FarrarFargo - The Tin Girl Who Stole My Heart - Brianna NaessensGilda the Little Lion - Olivia KoernerHeisendog - Don't Meth with Alma - Abby DiMercurio and Rhianna BaldreeHopps - Dr. Barker the Vetrinarian - Kelsey MatyasikJack-O-Lantern - Jessica RookKarma the Firefighter - Bekah Meyers HundebyLeon the Lion - Catherine SmithLil' Sebastian II and Leslie Knope - Sammy and Missy DeVelvisLinus with his blanket and The Great Pumpkin - Erin SweattNora the Shark - Charolette Berbette (Taken by Kensie Arnold)Nurse Butter - Holly LambertPenny the Riveter - Jess LopezPatch in the Pumpkin Patch - Stacy GrolimundStella - "Honey We Shrunk the Kids!" - Andrea Beltran and Sallie CookShilo in the Pumpkin Patch - Emily UnholzStevie - "How the Cat Sees Me" - Shelby Young
