Is your furry friend the cutest in all the burgh?

Do you think your fur baby is the cutest in the burgh?

Well, now is your chance to show them off and help a great cause at the same time!

Shari Lynn Fine Art Portraits has joined with Vet Pets to host their first ever pet photo calendar contest. Starting on March 11, 2024, pet parents all over the burgh will have the opportunity to enter their beloved pets into the contest for a chance to be one of the top 13 winners featured in the calendar.

But this contest is not just about showcasing adorable pets.
It's also for a good cause.

The goal is to raise $10,000 to provide a service dog to a veteran or first responder in need. By entering your pet into the contest and encouraging your friends and family to vote for them, you will be directly contributing to this important cause.

So, how can you enter your pet into the contest? It's simple! Just visit our website and submit a photo of your furry friend along with a $5 entry fee. Then, share your pet's photo with all your friends and family and encourage them to vote for your pet - at just $1 per vote! All funds collected will go toward helping Vet Pets provide a service dog to a deserving individual.

Not only will you be helping a great cause, but your pet could also win a spot in the calendar and become a local celebrity!

Imagine seeing your adorable pet's photo in the calendar, knowing that they helped make a difference in someone's life.

Mark your calendars for March 11, 2024, and get ready to show off your adorable pet while supporting a worthy cause. Let's come together as a community and make a positive impact on the lives of veterans and first responders in need.
