VUMC Pets of the Day: Meko and Moss

Today’s Cat of the Day is Meko, submitted by Jill Saunders of Nuclear Medicine. “I, along with a coworker, rescued him out of the drain across from TVC three years ago. He’s been living his best life with me ever since.”

Today’s Dog of the Day is Moss, submitted by Sarah Malone of Surgery. “Moss is the greatest dog ever! He was adopted from Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary. We love him so much. He brings us joy, love and laughs.”

Pets of the Day — what you need to know

The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Pets of the Day are included in regular editions of the MyVUMC News newsletter, which is posted twice a week by VUMC News and Communications.

The pets are selected from the hundreds of entries sent to the VUMC Voice Pet Photo Contest.

For those who submitted a photo to that contest, watch MyVUMC News for Pets of the Day, and in addition, regular collections of pet photos are posted to the VUMC Voice site. You can see them all here: https://news.vumc.org/section/voice/pets-vumc/.

If you have a pet you would like to nominate for Pet of the Day, the next Pet Photo Contest submission period is coming up later this year, and will be announced in MyVUMC News.

Meko and Moss were featured in the May 20, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
