The Animal Pad 2025 Calendar Contest

Prizes

The top 13 entries will win a professional photo session with Peanut and Bean Photo and an 8x10 fine art print. Sessions will be scheduled during the month of May at Del Mar Dog Beach. If you are unable to commit to a photo session during that time, you forfeit your winning and the next top vote getter will take your pet's spot in the calendar. No exceptions.
The top vote recipient will win the coveted cover photo for the 2025 calendar. The remaining 12 entries with the most votes will be featured as a pet of the month.
Peanut and Bean Photo will choose the best images from each shoot and their corresponding months. All winners will have the opportunity to purchase products following their session if desired.
Calendars will be available for purchase starting October 2024.
The dog receiving the highest number of new votes each week during the course of the six-week contest will win a mini-contest prize from one of the participating businesses.

About

The Animal Pad is a non-profit, all breed dog rescue that focuses on saving dogs from high kill shelters and the streets of Mexico. We get them vet care, place them in foster homes and then find them loving forever families.

Our mission is to form a safe space for dogs experiencing crisis and neglect, and to build a community of compassion through education, rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption. Our community of volunteers and fosters strives to ensure that all dogs get a fighting chance, and believes that no case is too extreme to be helped, meaning our rescue is full of perfectly imperfect dogs who can’t wait to meet you.

100% of proceeds from the sale of the calendar along with entry and voting fees benefit The Animal Pad.
