Celebrate canine spirit and support the Frontier Animal Society!
Frontier Animal Society, in partnership with
Korina Joseph Photography, is pleased to announce its third annual dog calendar contest for 2027. All proceeds from contest voting and entry fees, along with half of the proceeds from calendar sales, will support Frontier Animal Society in meeting the basic needs of the cats and dogs in their care, including veterinary care, nutritious food, and enrichment items such as toys and treats.
We encourage you to submit your favorite photo of your dog and invite your family and friends to vote for them. Please review the Contest Rules carefully for submission guidelines; entries that do not follow these rules will not be eligible to win. Help us reach our goal by submitting your photo today and start sharing to gather votes!
Prizes
Grand Prizes:
- The winners of the photo contest will be the 13 participants who receive the most votes.
- The grand prize winner (the dog with the most votes) will be featured on the cover of the 2027 calendar. The 2nd through 13th place winners will each have one month of the calendar featuring their dog’s photo.
- Winning entries featuring two or more dogs will share a month.
- All 13 winning dogs will be professionally photographed by Korina Joseph Photography for inclusion in the 2027 calendar.
- Winners will also have the opportunity to purchase additional products and images following their session, if they wish.
Important: If your dog is selected among the top 13, you must be able to travel to Korina Joseph Photography at a pre-selected location in the Sherbrooke area for a professional photography session. Sessions will take place between July and September (inclusive). If you are unable to attend during this period or travel to the designated locations, you will forfeit your prize and the next highest vote recipient will take your place in the calendar, with 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.
