13th Annual Credit Union of Denver Pet Calendar for 2026!
A big THANK YOU to everyone who submitted their pet pictures and voted! Once again, we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and enthusiastic participation. The Votes are in, and we have a cover pet! Unfortunately, you will have to wait for the printed calendars to arrive in November to see who won and which pets will be highlighted on each of the different months!
As a reminder, the 1 photo with the most votes will be placed on the coveted cover, have unlimited bragging rights, plus be displayed on 1 month within the calendar. The next 12 pictures with the most votes will highlight the remaining 12 months within the calendar.
However, due to the incredible response (over 470 photos), we will include a large Honorable Mentions section, so be sure to look out for your pet(s) in the printed calendar!
The calendars will be available for purchase around the beginning of November and will be $10 each. We will send out an email letting you know when they have arrived. We are offering Free Shipping on each calendar purchased at that time. All of the proceeds from the calendar sales will be donated to Foothills Animal Shelter.
This is a community project made with the shared love we have for our pets and knowing the importance of supporting those who care for the animals locally and in our beautiful state. The C·U·D Pet Calendar is our annual charity project that helps raise much needed funds for Foothills Animal Shelter.
Here is a little information from The Foothills Animal Shelter website to understand why we do this every year.
The Why Behind the Annual Pet Calendar
Making a difference in the lives of our community and members who reside here with their furry friends is important to us. We believe that supporting Foothills Animal Shelter can have a direct impact on our community. When one of the pets at Foothills Animal Shelter finds a fur-ever home, we know that the act of bringing in an unconditional loving animal affects the human just as much as the animal! We like to ask…Who Rescued Who?
That's why we curate our Annual Pet Calendar every year alongside our community's pet pictures, with 100% of the proceeds directly benefiting Foothills Animal Shelter. The calendar is most certainly a collaborative effort with our members and community. We also ask our vendors to donate advertising dollars that help offset the cost of printing the calendar. So when you see an ad in the calendar, know they are supporting this paws-itively good cause!
The pet photos are an outstanding way to share the joy that comes from owning a pet and helping to raise money for a great resource within our community via calendar sales. We express our gratitude to everyone who has been willing to share their photos of their beloved furry friends throughout the years. Thank you for your continued support of Foothills Animal Shelter.

The Result - A Real Loving Impact
A total of $6,702.39 was raised for Foothills Animal Shelter from the 2025 pet calendar sales and vendor contributions!
Thank you to all the community members who purchased a calendar or contributed with a photo that made our 2025 calendar so awesome! As 100% of the calendar proceeds directly benefit Foothills Animal Shelter, they thank you as well!

About Foothills Animal Shelter
Foothills Animal Shelter is an open-admissions facility, which means we never turn away an animal. We care for more than 9,200 orphaned cats, kittens, dogs, puppies and critters every year with a compassionate team of staff and volunteers. (Unfortunately, we cannot accept wild animals; they should be taken to organizations that specialize in their care.) We are a true community resource and offer a variety of services including pet adoption, Jefferson County pet licensing, affordable spaying and neutering, vaccinations, micro chipping and lost and found pets. We are committed to our important mission and the life-saving work that we do every day of the year.
