2nd Annual Tails & Ales Photo Contest!

Round up your cameras, grab your cell phones and pull out your old photo albums! Submit photos of your current pets, your beloved past friends or your favorite foster! Enter as many images as you want and turn your pets into stars!

Humane Society Silicon Valley’s (HSSV’s) Tails & Ales Photo Contest is a fun way to celebrate your pet while raising money for the animals and people that rely on HSSV. The winners in each animal category will also become local celebrities, featured on marketing materials as the 2019 Tails & Ales ambassadors!

The contest will open on Thursday, August 9th at 12:00pm (PST) and run through Wednesday, September 12th at 8:00pm (PST)! The winner in each category will be announced on Saturday, October 13th at Tails & Ales at Mitchell Park in Palo Alto (get your tickets today!)
