Make Your Pet A Star: Enter San Diego Humane Society's Pet Photo Fundraiser

SAN DIEGO, CA — Make your pet a star while helping shelter animals in need.

San Diego Humane Society is seeking submissions for its 33rd annual photo fundraiser, and searching for cats, dogs and other animal companions to feature in the organization's annual pet calendar. The photo fundraiser and pet calendar raises funds to support San Diego Humane Society's services, including adoptions, humane law enforcement, veterinary care, and the rescue and rehabilitation of injured or orphaned wildlife through the Project Wildlife program.

Pet owners are invited to submit their favorite photos for a chance to be featured in the 2026 calendar.

"We all think our pets are the cutest — and now we can turn that love into lifesaving support for animals in need," said Brian Daugherty, executive vice president of San Diego Humane Society. "It's a fun way for the community to come together and make a real impact."

Photo submissions will be accepted through Aug. 31. Photos of all companion animals are welcome.

All entries with at least five votes will be included in the calendar or on the collage pages, according to the organization. Top vote-getters can win a variety of prizes, including a full-page feature in the calendar, a two-night stay at Loews Coronado Bay Resort, tickets to the organization's annual Fur Ball and more.
