Jewish Atlanta Pets of 2021
Featuring the top three winners of this year's AJT sixth-annual pet contest, its clear that Jewish Atlantans love their pets, as exemplified in the photos included here.
Our sixth-annual pet issue attracted far more submissions than ever before, a whopping 162 photos of Jewish Atlanta’s cutest, softest, furriest companions. You might say it was raining cats and dogs at the AJT. This past year during the pandemic, our pets were truly pampered, treated to more strolls in the park, belly rubs and overall attention. And there can never be enough photos of felines and pooches.
Here you will find a sample of those the community shared, 25 of the AJT’s top picks, starting with the lucky winner on our cover, a 14-year-old calico named Callie who seems to enjoy Jewish traditions. The rest of the submissions will appear on our website. Besides our cover pet, a first-place winner will receive a $50 gift card and second and third place will receive $25 gift cards.
