CLEVELAND — For the last few days, you’ve been voting to pick the perfect name for our new puppy, which is joining the Channel 3 team through a partnership with Wags 4 Warriors.
The results are in, and the winning name is…
Roxy!
Her name is a salute to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The runners-up were Hope and Pierogi.
Wags 4 Warriors is a non-profit organization that pairs veterans with service dogs. They pick the dog, train it and socialize it at no cost to the veteran.
Jennifer and Frank DeLorenzo have led the pack since they opened in 2011, but this time their daughter is handling the new puppy.
Kayla DeLorenzo has been a spectator for a while, watching her parents foster dogs, helping to train them before handing them over to a veteran. Now, it’s her time.
WKYC and the DeLorenzo’s will pick up the puppy on Feb. 15 and make appearances on the morning show every Tuesday and Thursday after that.
