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 How - Pet Calendar Submissions
Once we receive all the photos for consideration, the C·U·D Calendar Committee selects the top 25 photos and places them online for a community vote. The pet that garners the most votes wins the coveted front cover. The remaining monthly pet photos are then selected by the next 12 highest vote count on the remaining photos.
We then put as many of the other qualified photos in our “Honorable Mention” pages of the calendar; That way everyone may have an opportunity to brag to their friends and family! Please know, we try to include as many photos as possible, but photos that are submitted outside of the guidelines may not be used due to printing quality issues.
Good Luck & Remember to buy the printed calendars in the fall. They make great holiday gifts! As a reminder, all of the calendar proceeds directly benefit Foothills Animal Shelter when the calendars go on sale later this year.
The Result - A Real Loving Impact
Thank you to all the members and community photo contributors that made our 2024 calendar so awesome! This calendar is truly a labor of love of animals. Our staff loves to help feature our furry friends each year to support our local animal shelter
As a reminder, all of the proceeds from the calendar sales will be donated to Foothills Animal Shelter, and this year our members helped raise a total of $6,987.82! Thank you for helping us raise the much-needed funds it takes to operate and care for the animals that find their way to the Foothills Animal Shelter.

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.
