The voting part of the contest is DONE! Thank you to everyone who voted and donated, we raised over $5800 for Soul Dog Rescue! Now onto the fun part - The Calendar! We are currently photographing the 13 top vote-getters, and will have the calendar available to deliver by October! Right now, you can pre-order the calendar at www.crimsoncatstudios.com/shop and we will let you know once they are ready to deliver. All proceeds from calendar sales will also go to Soul Dog - don't forget gifts for family and friends so we can get even closer to that $10,000 goal!
Soul Dog Rescue, in partnership with Crimson Cat Studios, is happy to announce its 2025 Dogs with Soul Calendar! Proceeds from the photo contest and sale of the calendar will assist Soul Dog Rescue with providing low-cost spay/neuter services, and enable them to continue to rescue homeless dogs and cats from the four corners area of the southwestern U.S. Soul Dog’s rescued dogs and cats are available for adoption after they are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
We encourage you to submit your favorite photo of your pets and ask your family and friends to vote for them. Please review the Contest Rules carefully for submission guidelines; those that do not follow these rules will not be eligible to win. Fees for photo entries and votes will help Soul Dog continue their efforts with their mission.
