Is your Pet a Masterpiece?
Does your pet have the charm of a Renaissance muse or the boldness of a modern masterpiece? In our 2026 Pin Up Paws calendar, “THE GILDED PAW,” we’re turning beloved pets into works of art! We’re searching for pets with the grace, character, and charisma worthy of the most prestigious gallery walls.
Submit your pet’s photo following the guidelines, then rally support for votes. Will they be the grand masterpiece on our cover or a celebrated portrait of the month? This is their moment to be framed in history, and take a place among the greats!
Winners will receive a professional photo shoot with world-renowned photographer Addison Fitzgerald. Then, the talented fine artist and graphic designer Maribel Angel will transform their image into a stunning, museum-worthy portrait with timeless elegance.
Each $1 donation equals one vote, and all donations benefit the lifesaving programs of the St. Augustine Humane Society."
And, there are even more opportunities for your pet’s image to be featured in the calendar, so be sure to see the Rules page. For a full list of all the prizes, visit our "
Prizes" page! We will reveal the 2026 Pin Up Paws – THE GILDED PAW calendar at our Pin Up Paws Gala on Thursday, October 23, 2025. The PUP Party is always fun, and this year with a MUSEUM ART theme.
