ENTER THE 2026 PET PHOTO CALENDAR CONTEST!
The Auburn Valley Humane Society (AVHS) is excited to announce the 14th 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 that receive the highest vote count will be the winners of the 2026 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 2026 AVHS calendar and a monthly page. All winning photos will receive a free 2026 calendar. 2026 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 programs, 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 it is supported by public donations and fundraisers like this pet photo calendar contest!
Our goal is to raise $25,000 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 and dentistry services, and humane education programs.
AVHS does not receive financial support from state or federal tax dollars or national humane or animal welfare organizations. 100% of the proceeds from the Contest and the sale of the calendars will be used to provide a safe haven and quality medical and dental care for the homeless, and lost animals throughout our community during their time of need.
If you have any questions about the 2026 Pet Photo Calendar Contest or are having difficulty with the online entry process, please contact Sharon LaVigne, Director of Philanthropy for the Auburn Valley Humane Society, at 253-409-1503 or slavigne@auburnvalleyhs.org.
