Welcome
Welcome to Dharma Rescue's 2027 Handicapable Animals and Friends Calendar Photo Contest! We are excited to raise funds to support Dharma Rescue for Cats and Dogs, which cares for disabled and special needs dogs and cats.
This year, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in and supported our Calendar Contests. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to relocate to a larger facility, providing a better home for our Dharma rescues.
Join us in continuing this vital work by entering the contest, voting, campaigning for votes, reserving a calendar day, and purchasing a calendar. Every dollar you donate goes directly to operating expenses, including medical care, food, therapy, and other essentials for the animals in our care. Your support ensures that even those animals who are never adopted will have a forever home at Dharma Rescue.
Our fundraisers not only support our mission but also raise awareness of the incredible individuals who dedicate their hearts, love, and time to caring for special-needs animals and all animals. Through their stories, we hope to inspire and honor these compassionate caregivers.
Every animal has a special story, and we want to celebrate the unique beauty and spirit of each one.
This year, we welcome photographs and bios of all animals, not just those who are handicapable, to showcase some of the most supportive friends of our rescue. These will be included alongside our monthly handicapable winners in a new section called "Dharma's Friends." Every animal has a special story, and for the next 13 weeks, we want to celebrate the unique beauty and spirit of each one.
We believe this calendar will highlight the beauty, resilience, and the special bond our handicapped animals and friends share with their caregivers.
Remember: Adopt, don't shop. Find your perfectly imperfect friend today.
Your fur friend can be
present or over the rainbow bridge--they are always in our hearts. Also, remember to add your fur friends' Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter so we can all see what they are up to!

Inaba food and Churu's. If your kitty or dog has not tried Inaba and the Churu's, they are missing out and not doing the happy dance. The ingredients are natural, and the cats go crazy for Inaba, the dogs, too. It's a great way to bribe your cat and tame the wildest kitten. Dharma Rescues paralyzed kitties go to bed in their kennels after diapers come off, and their bottoms are cleaned. Like little kids, sometimes they don't want to go to bed, but if they hear that churu opening up, they dash to their beds. Best bribery for kitties and pups.
Penny and Pineapple. We are very happy to have artist Allana back, donating a drawing for one of the winning entries in the contest. Allana is very talented, her work is very precise, and she captures the expression of her subjects. You can tell she too loves animals.
Reserve a Date in the Calendar for your PetBe part of Dharma Rescues' 2027 calendar, celebrating Handicapable dogs, cats, and other sentient beings by featuring your pet. You may reserve a spot for your pet, whether they are handicapable or not. Let's share pictures of our animal friends and show how much we love them all!
For $15 you can purchase a photo spot on any day of your choice; the donation goes to the Dharma Rescue DAWGS present and future rescues. You will be helping us help them: the ones who are first to be euthanized at the shelters and the first to be passed over for adoption because they are broken. We believe broken can always be mended.
We want to ask if you purchase a date, please add your pet's name and their disability to the photo. If your pet has no disability, then, in a few words, put down how fabulous your pet is because they are all amazing sentient beings!
