Paw-Parazzi Awards 2027

Lights. Camera. Compassion. Your pet could be the next Paw-parazzi star.

We’re paws-itively thrilled to launch something wildly fun, fur-filled, feathered, scaly, and full of heart - celebrating every companion from tiny mammals and playful pups to majestic equines, chirpy birds, and captivating reptiles! 

The Houston Humane Society is thrilled to kick off our Photo Contest - a celebration of the cutest, funniest, and most lovable pets in our community. Whether your companion is a goofy grin champion, a nap-time expert, the most sporty playful sidekick or a total cuddle superstar, this is their moment to shine. 

Share your favorite pet photos, rally your friends and family, and let the friendly competition begin. Every vote equals $1 and helps raise lifesaving support for animals still waiting for their happily-ever-after. It’s simple: more votes = more care, more new families, and more tails wagging across Houston.

So get ready to unleash the cuteness - we can’t wait to see your pets steal the spotlight and help make a real difference for animals in need!

It's easy to participate!

Submit your favorite photo of your pet, then encourage your family and friends to vote for your pet's picture.

Make a gift of $25 per photo to enter the contest. Our Top 12 stars with maximum votes are GUARANTEED inclusion in the calendar! You can make an additional donation during the entry process that will count as votes* toward your submitted photo(s). All proceeds from the contest entries and votes will go directly to support Houston Humane Society's core programs and services. Photo submissions require a minimum tax-deductible donation of $25 to support the animals and programs at Houston Humane Society. Please see our participant guidelines and eligibility requirements.
