2026 Calendar Contest Fundraiser
Submissions close September 15th! — Share your pet’s star moment and help save lives while you're at it! — ADHS alumni are extra special, but ALL pets are welcome to enter! There is a registration fee of $5 to enter a photo and that comes with 5 votes. Your family and friends can also vote by donation: $1 = 1 vote. The pet photo with the most votes will win any month of their choice in our printed 2026 calendar.
The calendar will also feature a Beloved Fur Babies Memorial Page — reserve a special spot to honour a pet who’s crossed the Rainbow Bridge (limited space available). Calendars will be available for purchase in November 2025, just in time for holiday gifting!
Join in on the fun and submit your pet's best photo in our 2026 Calendar Contest Fundraiser! We’re celebrating the joy, love, and unforgettable moments our pets bring into our lives. Submit your favourite photo and a short heartwarming story about your furry (or feathered!) friend before the contest ends on September 15th!
All proceeds raised from the 2026 Calendar Contest Fundraiser will support the medical costs of ADHS animals.
