Reserve a Day to Honor Your Pet
Want a guaranteed spot in the calendar on a date that's meaningful to you and your pet? Reserve a day to honor your pet for just $10. This can be for your pet's adoption anniversary, birthday, loved one's birthday, memorial or really any special day! Photos submitted must be of your pet only, no people. Your pet's photo will appear on the day of your choice (pending availability- we'll ask for a couple of special dates to do our best!). Choose your favorite photo of your pet and then choose the day and pay! First come first served! Once a date has been reserved, it will no longer be available.

Prizes
- The top 12 entries & a judge’s choice pet will win a professional photo session with BarkHop Studio that will be scheduled on specific dates in May and June at the studio located in Glenmoore, PA, a mile north of the rescue. If you are unable to commit to a photo session at that location and during the dates & times offered, you forfeit your winning and the next top vote getter will take your pet's spot in the calendar. No exceptions. The 13 winners will also receive a discovery call with BarkHop Studio to learn more about them and their personality, and prepare for the calendar photo shoot.
- The top vote recipient will win the coveted cover photo for the 2026 calendar. The remaining 11 entries with the most votes and the judges' choice will be featured as a pet of the month.
- One entry will be selected for a Judge's Choice Award. A panel of judges will pick the photo with the most personality and give that dog a spot in the calendar, regardless of the number of votes it gets.
- BarkHop Studio will choose the best images from each shoot and their corresponding months. All winners will have the opportunity to purchase photo products following their session if desired.
- Throughout the four-week contest, entrants will have the opportunity to win mini contest prizes sponsored by local businesses.
