PHILIPSBURG – Beginning Feb. 10 and continuing through March 16, people will have the opportunity to bring their pets in and have their picture taken by a professional photographer. For $10 they will receive an 8 inch x 10 inch picture of the pet and a smaller picture attached to a donation can.
Using the donation can to solicit votes, you can “Make Your Pet A Star”. If that pet is one of the 12 pets receiving the most votes, they will be featured on a month of the 2009
SPCA Pet Calendar. The next 12 pets will be featured on the honorable mention page. All pets entered in the contest will be included in a collage, which makes up the front and back cover of the calendar
If candidates and their pets participated in the calendar contest in the past and have lost the pet since that time, please contact the SPCA. We honor deceased participants on a memorial page in the calendar.
Please bring your pet and join the fun. Cats are very under-represented so we are hoping to see a lot more cats this year. Our professional photographers do a great job and are able to get a beautiful picture even with the most skittish or shy pet. We all love our pets and want to show them off to the world. This gives us an opportunity to do just that and also to help those animals not as fortunate. The calendar contest is the major fund-raising event for the SPCA. The funds raised from the contest and calendar sales allow us to keep the doors of the shelter open.
Last year’s contest was hugely successful but we can do even better with your help. Let’s see if we can set a new record. Congratulations go out to our winners from last year: Barb Belko and her dog, Andy and Linda and Samantha Staples and their dog Amy.
For more information, please call Tracy Draa at 583-7566 or the shelter at 342-3810.
