Celebrate four-legged joy and support the Frontier Animal Society!
Frontier Animal Society, in partnership with Korina Joseph Photography, is happy to announce its second annual dof calendar for 2026. Half of the proceeds from the sale of the calendar and all of the proceeds from the photo contest will assist Frontier Animal Society with ensuring the basic needs of the cats and dogs in their care are met including veterinary care, healthy food and enrichment such as toys and treats.
We encourage you to submit your favorite photo of your dog and ask your family and friends to vote for them. Please review the Contest Rules carefully for submission guidelines; those that do not follow these rules will not be eligible to win. Fees for photo entries and votes will help Frontier Animal Society continue their efforts with their mission to help save lives.
Prizes
Grand Prizes:
- The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the 13 participants who receive the most votes.
- The grand prize winner will take home the coveted cover photo of the 2026 calendar! The 2nd-13th place winners will have their dog featured as the featured photo of the month.
- Entries featuring two dogs or more will share a month if they place in the top 13 for votes.
- The top 13 votes will have their dog professionally photographed by Korina Joseph Photography for the 2026 calendar.
- All winners will have the opportunity to purchase products and images after their session, if they wish.
*If your dog is one of the 13 to be photographed for the calendar, you must be able to travel to Korina Joseph Photography at a pre-selected location in the Sherbrooke area during the session period, between the months of August and September inclusively for a professional photography session. If you are unable to commit to a photo session during this period or are unable to travel to these pre-selected locations, you forfeit your prize and the next entrant with the most votes will take your dog’s place in the calendar, no exceptions.
The Frontier Animal Society Shelter has been a cornerstone of our community since its founding in 1982. Operating under the guidance of a dedicated board of directors, our mission is to rescue and rehome stray and abandoned cats and dogs, ensuring that each animal finds a loving and responsible forever home.
Our shelter provides a safe haven for approximately 25-35 cats and kittens and 8-10 dogs at any given time. With only one paid employee, we rely heavily on the support of our volunteers. Most of our cats and kittens are rescued as strays, many from local barns. Our dogs come to us through transfers from other rescues or shelters, as cast-offs from commercial breeders, or as surrenders from families.
Since our adoption fees don't fully cover the cost of caring for our animals, fundraisers like this are essential for sustaining our operations and continuing our mission. As a registered charity, we depend entirely on donations.
