Pets of Jewish Atlanta

This is the third-annual pet issue for the AJT. Each year we ask Jewish Atlanta to submit pet photos to be published in the issue. We generally receive 15 to 20 entries each year, but this year, the overwhelming response shows just how engaged you are. We received almost 100 entries and, as promised, we are publishing all of your pets.
With so many entries, we chose our six favorite pets and let Jewish Atlanta vote on the winner for the cover. Voting closed Monday, June 25.

YOUR 2018 COVER STAR IS …
Lila
Greyhound/Coonhound mix, 9
Liz Karen of Brookhaven

A rescue, Lila can be skittish around our one-year-old, but loves chasing deer all through Brookhaven.
Her coolest trick? She can tell us when there’s going to be a storm.
