is now looking for next years up and coming faces!
Show your pet living the good life, lounging on their favorite chair or romping in
your yard and be sure to include a short description of how your pet came into your life.
Not only could your pet end up in a calendar that will be in many homes, businesses and
offices - proceeds from the photo contest and calendar sales will go towards helping other
less fortunate pets get a chance to also live the good life they all deserve.
The 2012 calendar will have twelve winning photographs (one for each month),
and all usable photographs submitted for the contest will be included in a collage page
within the calendar. Submissions need to be in by Aug. 31. After that you can vote for your
favorite from Sept. 1 - Sept. 31. For more information Please call (352) 746-8400.
