We're celebrating our animal friends who are differently abled, and differently beautiful. Those who stand out from the crowd - because that just makes them OUTSTANDING! Whether it's a cat with hydrocephalus, a blind donkey, a rabbit walking with wheels, or a dog with a cleft lip - we want to put the Special into 'Special Needs' and celebrate animals who are wonderful just the way they are! It’s all about acceptance, having fun, celebrating our uniqueness - and SAVING LIVES!
Your entries and donate-to votes will help Road Dogs & Rescue rescue more 'special' dogs, and keep powering towards our goal of a sanctuary and healing centre.

I had the great pleasure to meet Maia last feb in LA. She’s a warrior and I agree that nothing can stop her. She always work hard to overpass her limits so she deserves to be “elected”. She is a very good example for humans, to show how to go on and never stop dreaming.
Maia is the most inspiring warrior because never does she let her disability slow her down from being the feisty adventurer she is!!

Maia has the most beautiful name of any dog ever, and she is the very bravest girl!!! I admire her adventurous spirit, her perseverance, her spunkiness and I give two paws up for the way she bosses all the other dogs around. Except for Churo that is. She bosses him with her love. I love you, Maia.
