Friends of the Aberdeen Area Humane Society, here is your chance to show off your adorable pets in our 2023 AAHS Photo Calendar Contest! Not only will you show off your pet, but you will support all the animals currently residing at the AAHS waiting to find their new home!

It's easy to participate. Take your favorite photo of your pet (only pets, no people!), submit it to us along with a $5 donation and then get your family and friends to vote ($1 per vote, see rules page) for your pet's adorable picture. At the end of the contest, the top photos with the most votes will receive great prizes and will be the featured photos in the calendar! Your pet does not have to be a rescue, but we certainly want to see as many AAHS alumni as possible! It's a friendly competition that will result in a wonderful 2023 AAHS calendar AND will make you feel warm and fuzzy knowing you have benefited all the homeless AAHS pets in the process.

Want to guarantee a spot for your pet photo, or honor a memory, birthday or other hallmark?
With a $10 donation you can reserve a calendar day for your photo. First come, first served.


So, don't delay, flip through those camera photos and find your best, high resolution pet picture. Don't forget, all donations to our 501(c)(3) organization are tax deductible! Good luck and thanks for your continued support to the Aberdeen Area Humane Society!


Grand Prize (Top Donation Winner)
Your pet's winning photo will be featured on the month of your choice within the AAHS 2023 Calendar. You will also be part of a specially arranged mini photo shoot with a local photographer. One photo from this session will be featured as the cover photo of the calendar (see rules page for additional mini session information). You will also win a ticket to the 2023 AAHS Bow Wow Boogie (a $35 value) and an AAHS t-shirt.

2nd - 12th Place Prizes (11 total)
Your pet's photo will be featured as the main photo in one month of the calendar.

Additional Prize
Any photo that receives 100 votes or more, regardless if they are in the top 12, will receive a free calendar.


Honor a memory, birthday or other hallmark when you reserve a calendar day for their photo. Choose your favorite photo of your pet, choose a day, and donate! First come, first served. Each day requires a $10 donation.
