Welcome to LOVEPAWS Rescue 1st Annual Calendar contest!!!
We believe our adopted pets are family and love to see our alumni thriving in their homes!
LOVEPAWS was originally founded as a shelter intake prevention program in 2019 with a mission of keeping pets in homes and out of our local shelters through community outreach. Our outreach efforts are targeted towards helping pet owners in low-income and underserved communities in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties, Maryland.
Shelters and rescues are in the midst of a capacity crisis. More dogs are brought into the shelter than they have kennel space. Prince George’s County, MD has the nation’s largest breed ban on “pit bull type” dogs so rescues like LOVEPAWS become the only hope of getting these animals out of the constantly over-crowded shelter alive. Veterinary and other medical expenses have continued to increase since COVID and one surgery can drain thousands of dollars from rescue funds and put their operations at risk.
Proceeds from this calendar contest and sales will provide the funds to support our foster dog and cat programs. LOVEPAWS rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Your vote/donation is tax deductible, keep your emailed receipt for tax purposes.
When you enter your pet in this contest, you are helping to save the lives of at-risk animals in our local shelters and support our community outreach efforts to keep pets in their homes and out of shelters.
