JASMYN Pets for Pride 2025 Photo Contest

The top vote-getter-by-donation will be declared the winner of the 5th Annual Pets for Pride Photo Contest and the JASMYN Mascot for 2025.

Although mascot bragging rights are the reason for the season, the winning “pet parent” will receive a prize package containing a $25.00 gift card to Chewy and a few more surprises to sweeten the pot!
