THE 2027 PET CALENDAR CONTEST
IS OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS!
This Year's Theme Is "I'm Rescued & Happy!"
Our 8th Annual Rescue Pet Contest celebrates the many ways our pets show us that they're happy.
We’re looking for that happiness in all its forms:
♥️ The favorite-toy face
♥️ The completely contented nap
♥️ The belly-up bliss
♥️ The “look what I can do” moment
♥️ The absolutely unhinged sleeping position
♥️ Any look that says, “I love my life.”
The 2027 Pet Contest opens on Thursday, September 10 at 8 a.m. and closes on Sunday, October 18 at midnight!
ENTER YOUR PET HERE!
Wait, what is the calendar contest? It's been a while...
Our annual calendar contest is a fundraiser and a celebration of rescue pets. You submit a photo and story about your pet, then ask friends, family and fellow animal lovers to vote. Each vote is a $1 donation to The Crossings Animal Society.
The 12 pets who receive the most votes will be featured on a full page in the 2027 calendar. But don't worry — every accepted contest entry will be included in the calendar, arriving before Thanksgiving, just in time for gift giving. You can see last year's final calendar here.

Open Your Home, Save A Life
Our rescue animals need foster homes while they wait for adoption—and you can make a huge difference by opening your home to one of them.
Fostering gives a dog or cat a safe, comfortable place to land while helping us learn more about their personality, needs, and what kind of home will be the right fit.
Introducing "Fur-ever Match"
A New Way To Adopt
We know how challenging it can sometimes be to search for a rescue dog or cat.
In our new program, we do the searching for you!
All you have to do is complete an adoption application. Once your adoption is reviewed and approved, we'll search for just the right dog or cat for your family.
We take into account the size, age range, temperament, gender, activity level, and other-pet friendliness of the rescue you want to add to your family forever.
All the pets we adopt are spayed and neutered, as well as up-to-date on all vaccinations. All are healthy; in cases for which there are health concerns, they are fully disclosed.
For more information and an adoption application, click here.
