Seattle, March 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greater Good Charities and Halo pet food announce the winners of the Fido Foster “Lucky Dog” National Photo Contest, including the grand prize winner Zeus. Zeus is a former stray dog who was covered in quills and was days away from dying when he arrived at the Furry Friends Rockin Rescue in Bismarck, N.D.

“The Fido Foster ‘Lucky Dog’ Photo Contest is a time to not only celebrate amazing dogs that overcame adversity but to give back to the foster volunteers, adopters and animal welfare organizations that saved them,” said Liz Baker, CEO of Greater Good Charities.

Zeus, the grand prize winner of the Fido Foster “Lucky Dog” Photo Contest, will receive a year-supply of Halo pet food along with 5,000 meals from Halo and a $5,000 grant courtesy of MyPetCandle to donate to an animal shelter of his choice (Furry Friends Rockin Rescue).

From February 25 until March 9, dog fosters and adopters were invited to visit FidoFoster.org to share a photo of their foster or adopted dog and answer the question, “Why is your dog a lucky dog?” The “Lucky Dog” Photo Contest panel of judges selected the top 25 entries, for the public to vote on from March 10 – 16.
