This photo contest and pet calendar raises essential funds that support Dakin’s programs and services including accessible veterinary services including spay/neuter surgery, pet food aid, adoption, and more. Our programs were created to help keep people and pets where they belong – together.

Participation is easy! Submit your favorite high-quality photo of your pet, then share your entry with your friends and family to collect votes for your pet’s photo! You can also reserve a special day on the calendar to feature your pet’s photo for a $15 donation!

Winner’s Circle: One First Place winner will have their pet’s photo featured as the calendar cover. Twelve Second Place winners will have their pet’s photo featured as a calendar month. Don’t forget to preorder your calendar!
