Life is better together.  It is better when we share life together with our pets, and it is also better when our pets share it with other pets.  This year’s photo contest celebrates the connection that exists between animals; the special bond that they form which makes life better together.   We are looking for photos that demonstrate that special relationship that animals share with one another; snapshots of those moments in time that just make you smile, for our "Life is Better Together" photo contest.

ENTER Submit your best photo of your furry, feathered or finned (and hopefully adopted) family member. Now is your chance to brag nationally about the special qualities of your pet. We encourage you to submit photos of multiple pets together and pets beyond just dogs and cats. Please, only animals - no human faces (arms, hands and legs ok).

CHOOSE A RESCUE/SHELTER Choose a rescue / shelter to benefit from your fundraising efforts. Photo votes are $1/vote and proceeds from this contest will benefit our rescue and shelter partners: During the entry process, each participant chooses a shelter/rescue partner to support. All who have chosen the same partner are considered a Fundraising Team, whether or not they know one another. If, between all the team members, a Fundraising Team collects over $1,500 in votes, the partner will receive a grant for the amount raised! All Fundraising Teams that raise over $500 during this contest will be entered into a Free Drawing to win a single grant of $1,500 for their chosen partner. The top three Individual Fundraisers will win an additional $2,500 in grant money for their chosen partner.
