We all love our pets, and each one is the ultimate “Cute Hero” in our own eyes! Here is your chance to go viral, enter your best photo(s) and share with the world!  Send links to all your family, friends, colleagues, and well, EVERYONE! 

Build your Cute Hero fan club! EVERYONE can vote for their favorites. There will be eleven (11) top pets; the top three (3) will have their choice of placement on our 2025 Cute Hero Calendar (including the cover!).  The next eight (8) will also be “Calendar Girls/Boys” randomly throughout the months. 

But the best part is that if your Cute Hero raises a minimum of $20 (just 20 votes!), your pet has a GUARANTEED placement on our photo collage page and instantly becomes a STAR.

Your entries and votes support HARTT (Humane Animal Rescue and Trapping Team) and Phoenix West Rotary.  Our organizations count you among an amazingly caring network of people across the world who have supported the great work we do on the local, national and global levels.  Please check out our “About Us” page to learn more about these wonderful organizations.

Multiple entries are encouraged!  Any type of pet (yes, your adorable pet snake is eligible!) is welcome –- even those that have crossed the rainbow bridge.

*HARTT - HARTT’s mission is to reunite lost pets with their families, and to rescue dogs and injured cats who are stray, lost or living on their own who cannot easily be rescued through ordinary means.

*Phoenix West Rotary - Annual holiday project of food, gifts and all the fixings for a celebration for families with children in the Osborn School District who would not otherwise be able to enjoy the holiday season

• Pet Model Career Launch!
• Bragging Rights!
• Your Pet’s Fan Club Growth!
• Most importantly, you are helping support two organizations that make our communities a better place every single day while celebrating the love we have for the animals who share our lives!

The 11 pets who raise the most funds (i.e., receive the most votes) will be featured on our Cutest Pet Calendar, and the top three (3) will have their choice of prime calendar placement. All pets who receive a minimum of 20 votes will be featured on our collage page.

Please consider ordering a calendar (or two, or ten!). Your orders will help us purchase the right number of calendars so we don't waste valuable funds on extra stock. What a perfect holiday gift for all pet lovers, especially those that love to support you and your Cute Hero! Use this link: Order 2025 Cutest Pet Calendar. Calendars will be mailed in early December.
