It’s time for Hope Animal Rescue’s 2025 CALENDAR PHOTO CONTEST!


This is a BIG year end fundraiser for HAR, and a fun way to get the community involved in raising money for a very impawtant cause! All proceeds from the photo contest go directly to providing care for the dogs of Hope Animal Rescue. Last year we raised almost $5,000 and our goal this year is to raise DOUBLE that and raise $10,000 – can you help make that happen?! Consider entering your pet in the contest (and encouraging people to vote), as the winners of the contest will make it in to our 2025 HAR Calendar!


How it works:

  1. Enter a high-resolution photo of your pet, along with an entry fee of $5. (1440px x 1800px or 2mb. If you win a spot in the calendar but your photo is not high-resolution, we will ask for a replacement photo, or else choose the next place entry). Your pet does NOT have to be a Hope Animal Rescue alum, and does NOT have to be a dog - all pets are welcome :)
  2. Vote! Each vote costs $1 (or less if you're buying more votes!) and there is no limit to how many votes you can purchase. With each vote, you make a direct donation to Hope Animal Rescue that will directly provide care and help cover expenses for our animals. There’s also special “discount bundles” for votes that may pop up every so often!
  3. SHARE SHARE SHARE this contest! Tell everyone to vote, share the contest URL, and ask your family/friends to vote for your pet!

Voting starts the morning of Monday November 18th at 8 AM EST and will end on Sunday November 24th at 9 PM EST.


The top 12 photos will be featured in our 2025 calendar. THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER (aka the photo with the most votes) will be crowned the 2025 Calendar Cover Pet, too!


2025 calendars will be available for pre-order soon, too, and will tentatively be available for local pick-up or to be shipped by mid December!
