2nd Annual First Responder Therapy Dog Calendar Contest

Welcome to our Photo Fundraiser! First Responder Therapy Dogs is entirely dependent on your generosity to provide much needed emotional support to our courageous first responders. Your participation, donation, and support allow our teams to deploy all over the country to support Firefighters, Police Officers, Telecommunicators, and Emergency Personnel.

It's easy to participate! Submit your favorite photo of your pet, then get your family and friends to vote for your pet's picture.

Win a spot in the calendar! The photo with the most votes will be awarded the COVER of the calendar. The 2^nd – 13^th place photos with the most votes will be featured in a limited edition calendar, each representing one month, available for purchase later in the year.
