SECAUCUS, NJ — Here's a cute way to raise money for the Secaucus Animal Shelter, which always needs donations to operate:

Don Evanson, the Harmon Cove resident who writes and publishes the Secaucus Spectator, the monthly newsletter distributed for free in Harmon Cove towers and townhouses, is holding the town's first-ever "Doggone Cute" photo contest.

How to enter your dog: It's free, easy and fun to enter. Simply email a cute photo of your pup to Evanson at Secaucusspec@aol.com by December 30, 2024.

An unnamed panel of judges will select the ten cutest dogs. In the January issue of the Spectator, photos of the ten dogs will be shown and a number given to each photo. The 10 photos will also be published online in Patch. The public will then be asked to vote on which dog they think is the cutest and email their vote to Secaucusspec@aol.com by January 17, 2025.

The owner of the dog with the most votes by Jan. 17 will receive $100. Patch and the Secaucus Spectator will send a separate check for $200 in the owner's name to the Secaucus Animal Shelter.
