Woods Humane Society will host its fourth annual Pets of the Year Calendar Contest, sponsored by Mechanics Bank, open to public entry, Sept. 1-20.
The contest is free to enter. Participants can nominate their pet by creating a page, uploading their pet photo, and asking friends and family to vote by donating to their contest page throughout the month.
The top 10 fundraisers will be featured in a pet-themed 2027 print calendar. Winners also receive four printed calendars and are featured in a 2027 social media post, email and website post.
All contestants who raise a minimum of $25 will win a calendar and have their pet photo included on the calendar’s collage page.
Woods will unveil the 2027 calendar and winners at the Woods Humane Society Wiggle Waggle Fall Festival on Oct. 24, where the calendars will be available for sale.
“The Pets of the Year calendar contest highlights our community’s enthusiasm and adoration for its furry family-members, and we can’t wait to see this year’s nominations,” said Emily L’Heureux, Woods CEO.
“This fun, community contest is also a unique way to help homeless pets at Woods. By donating to vote on contestants’ pages, supporters can make a real difference for dogs and cats in need,” she said. “Every dollar donated goes toward helping homeless pets find food, shelter, medical care, and loving families.”
