PEOPLE wants to turn your canine into a pet celebrity! PEOPLE’s World’s Cutest Rescue Dog Contest Presented by the PEDIGREE® brand is back for its third year! Last year’s winner was Kasey, a Keeshond who spent four years in a puppy mill before she was rescued and adopted by a loving family in New Jersey who has given her space to be a "carefree" and "loving" pet. Before Kasey, in 2018, the winner was Penny, a one-eyed golden retriever rescued from the streets of Turkey by Kyra’s Rescue. After being saved from her abusive past, she was adopted by a doting family in Silver Spring, Maryland. To turn your precious pup into the next World’s Cutest Rescue Dog, all you have to do is upload a photo of your dog to the contest page and share how adopting a dog changed your life — and theirs! Don’t forget to give a shout-out to the rescue organization that helped you find your canine companion. Rescue dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages are welcome.
