Daisy Belle Takes the Spotlight

Friday, January 23, 2026 | By: The PAWtographers

Jacksonville’s Cutest Pet of 2026 and the Power of Community Impact

When a city comes together for animals, the impact reaches far beyond a single moment—or a single dog. Daisy Belle, named Jacksonville’s Cutest Pet of 2026, is currently appearing on digital billboards across Jacksonville as part of a community-driven fundraiser benefiting the Jacksonville Humane Society.

As longtime supporters and Paw Partners of JHS, we were honored to photograph Daisy Belle’s winning portrait and help showcase what’s possible when local businesses, animal advocates, and pet lovers rally behind a shared cause.

A Community-Powered Win

Daisy Belle earned her title through the sixth annual Jacksonville’s Cutest Pet fundraiser, a donation-based voting contest that raised an incredible $47,982 for animals in need. Every vote was a donation, and every donation helped support lifesaving programs, adoptions, and community outreach throughout Duval County.

As part of her win, Daisy Belle is being featured throughout January on Clear Channel Outdoor digital billboards, turning daily commutes into moments of joy—and powerful reminders of what community support can accomplish.

You can spot Daisy Belle lighting up Jacksonville at:

  • I-10 (south side), 0.75 miles west of I-295 (facing west)

  • Philips Highway, 700 feet south of Baymeadows (facing south)

  • Beach Boulevard, 0.5 miles west of San Pablo (facing west)

Each billboard is more than a celebration—it’s visibility with purpose.

A Portrait with Meaning

Daisy Belle’s humans own Gotham City Limit, a beloved local comic book shop, which made the creative direction for her portrait feel especially fitting. Together with JHS, we wanted an image that reflected strength, resilience, and heart—qualities Daisy Belle embodies beautifully.

That’s why her portrait was created in Wonder Woman Alley.

Once a stray puppy, Daisy Belle’s journey is a testament to the power of rescue, patience, and love. Today, she represents second chances, community compassion, and the impact that intentional partnerships can have on animals’ lives.

Why Business Involvement Matters

As Paw Partners, we see firsthand how business engagement amplifies impact. Fundraisers like Jacksonville’s Cutest Pet don’t just raise money—they raise awareness, visibility, and momentum for animals who need it most.

Daisy Belle may be the face on the billboard, but behind her is an entire city choosing compassion—and businesses choosing to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Looking Ahead

Jacksonville’s Cutest Pet is an annual celebration of community generosity and animal advocacy. Voting for the 2027 Jacksonville’s Cutest Pet will open later this summer, and we encourage pet lovers and local businesses alike to keep their eyes out for voting announcements and opportunities to get involved.

Whether you’re voting, participating, or supporting from behind the scenes, every contribution helps write the next success story.

Because when a community shows up, animals win—and sometimes, they end up on billboards.
