Charlies Crusaders Pet Rescue is excited to be holding a special Photo contest highlighting adopted and rescued pets and the people who love them. At Charlie's Crusaders, we are committed to save shelter and abandoned dogs, and we know that there are many others just as committed as we are. We want to see photos of your pets which show how much you love and care about them.
By submitting your photo you'll have a chance of getting into our 2026 Adoption Calendar which will be printed and sold later this year. Plus, voters will be donating $1 for every vote which will be donated to Charlie's Crusaders Pet Rescue! So, even if you don't win, you'll be helping us save more pets.
