Dogs are their own kind of heroes. Every day, they remind us how to love unconditionally, how to stay loyal and dedicated, and how to be better humans. That's exactly what every hero aspires to do. 

Now it's time to give your hero the recognition they deserve. Enter the 2025 LAFD Howling Heroes Calendar Contest. For the first time ever, we’re expanding beyond just selecting a mascot to create an entire calendar featuring heroic pups!

• The official title of the 2025 LAFD K9 Mascot

• A photo on the calendar cover or a month feature

• An appearance on KTLA News

• A photo shoot with an LAFD firefighter for the calendar

• $1 = 1 vote

• The top twelve (12) fundraisers win calendar spots

• The contest ends July 25th at 8pm (so soon!)

As you share your pet and collect votes, remember that every dollar raised supports the LAFD Foundation in purchasing vital equipment and funding programs that help firefighters save lives and protect communities. Community support directly addresses gaps in funding for the LAFD, ensuring that our firefighters have the protective gear, advanced medical equipment, and life-saving technology necessary to keep Los Angeles safe.

When you submit your dog today, you are showing your love for LAFD firefighters and the furry hero who greets you at the door every day.
