Nominate Your Pet For Clark-Garwood's Pet Of The Week

CLARK/GARWOOD, NJ — Meet Gertie! She has been chosen as Patch's Pet Of The Week. Nominate your pet and winners will get a digital gift card for a free pet wash from In-N-Out Dog Pet Services.

"Gertie is our 7-year old Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso. We adopted her from Woof NYC. She had a tough life before we adopted her, but with love and patience, she has become a happy member of our family. She is smart, has her own mind, and adores her 'Mom' Ellen. Gertie is great company, and she is a bright light in our lives. She does not like walking in the rain, but she does look cute in her raincoat!"

— Paul Lavenhar

Do you think your pet should be Clark-Garwood's Pet of the Week?

Participating in the Pet of the Week happenings is simple: submit your nomination by emailing alexis.tarrazi@patch.com with the subject line "Clark-Garwood Pet Of The Week." Be sure to include a photograph or two of your pet, a paragraph about what makes him or her so great, the town you're from, and your name.

Then just keep an eye out for a photo of your pet on the Patch!

The photo can be of a present pet, or it can be a baby picture of the adult pet you're so proud of today. All photos must be the property of the submitter. By submitting a photo to Patch the submitter agrees to give permission for it to be published on Patch.

Additionally, selected winners each week will be given a digital gift certificate for a free pet wash when they stop at In-N-Out Dog Pet Services at 300 North Ave. in Garwood. And winners can also bring their pet into the store for a picture. In-N-Out will put them up on their Facebook page as well.
