Today’s Dog of the Day is Maverick, submitted by Mitzie Fudge of the Patient Flow Center. “This photo was not staged.”
Today’s Cat of the Day is Miss Phoebe, submitted by Wendy Paszek of Perioperative Services-Main OR. “I decided I needed a pet once my oldest daughter moved out of state and my youngest daughter went to college. I have always been a dog person but with my work hours, I couldn’t get a dog. Miss Phoebe is a rescue and has become my little side kick! She loves going for walks!”
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.
Maverick and Miss Phoebe were featured in the Sept. 2, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
