*A new color portrait will be taken by Cypress Photography. The photograph will be taken in the Monterey Bay area prior to October 2017. It is this photograph that will become the calendar month page. If this requirement cannot be met, an alternative prize will be substituted. The SPCA for Monterey County will determine the month which features this pet. A $100 gift card to a national retailer will be offered to those who are not able to meet the specified guidelines for the photo shoot.
