CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS FOR THE
2024 CALENDAR CONTEST!
RAISED $26,000 SO FAR! Purchase your CALENDARS NOW!
The Auburn Valley Humane Society (AVHS) is very excited to announce the 12th Annual Pet Photo Contest and Fundraiser! The AVHS Pet Photo Calendar Contest is a great way to show off your four-legged family members to loved ones worldwide and have a little fun bragging about the cuteness of your favorite pet. Plus, you’re doing your part to change the lives of lost, abandoned, and homeless animals in our community.
The top 14 pet photos, who receive the highest vote count will be the winners of the 2024 Calendar Contest and win a featured spot on one of the monthly pages. The photo with the most votes will be featured on the cover of the 2024 AVHS calendar and a monthly page. All winning photos will receive a free 2024 calendar. 2024 Calendars are on sale at the shelter, online, and at featured AVHS events. All photo entries will be featured in the calendar as well! In the event of a tie, whichever photo reaches the highest number of votes first, wins the cover spot.
Of course, the real winners will be the animals in our care. AVHS provides quality care and forever homes for thousands of homeless and lost pets annually through animal sheltering and adoptions, veterinary care, spay & neuter surgeries, preventative wellness program, humane education, and much more. Auburn Valley Humane Society is not a United Way agency nor affiliated with any national humane or animal welfare organizations, but is supported by public donations and fundraisers like this pet photo calendar contest!
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to provide medical care (spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchipping) for the animals in our care and subsidize our human/pet services, spay and neuter surgeries, our preventative veterinary wellness services, and humane education programs.
