If you are a cat or dog lover in McCook (or Tri-State area) we'd like you to help us identify the most adorable and funny furry friends around town. The cats and dogs receiving the most votes will be featured in our new calendar and the top two voting photos will receive the honor of "Calendar Cover Models of the Year," and will be featured in the official 2017 Cats and Dogs of McCook Calendar.


Votes can be entered beginning Friday, April 15^th, 7:00pm CST, and through the online contest deadline ending Friday, July 1^st, 2016, 7:00pm CST. Vote for your favorite photo as often as you wish and encourage your family, friends, and place of work to vote for your favorite pet photos too. There is no limit to the number of votes one may cast. All contest voting donations are tax deductible and benefit the McCook Humane Society. Please encourage your Facebook friends and social media followers to share and vote for your favorite cat and dog.


Top winners (the one cat and one dog photo earning the most votes) will be featured on the cover of the 2017 calendar. In addition, the winning owner (one cat and one dog owner) will each receive the following prizes:

• Two official 2017 gift calendars and one official shelter deck of playing cards
• One $20.00 gift certificate to Sehnert's Bakery, "on the bricks," McCook, NE

We will begin accepting photo submissions for the 2017 Cats and Dogs of McCook Calendar beginning Friday, April 15^th, 7:00pm CST, 2016. Votes can be placed seven days a week, 24 hours a day, and there is no limit to the number of times you can return to the contest and vote. The contest will end on Friday, July 1^st, 7:00pm CST, 2016.

Last year, our animal loving community mailed in over 120 cat and dog photographs for consideration for both the 2016 calendar and the very 1^st official deck of McCook Humane Society playing cards. We are now asking the community to send in their favorite new photos for inclusion in next year's 2017 calendar.


100% of contest donations go to benefit the McCook Humane Society which helps our community show we care for all the wonderful cats and dogs in our shelter still waiting for their forever homes!


The Cat Pack - Friends of the McCook Humane Society will be selling calendars, refrigerator magnets, posters, and other pet merchandise at the 2016 Fall animal shelter event, "Dog Days in the Park," the Heritage Days Craft Festival (Norris Park), and calendars will also be available at The McCook Humane Society (100 South Street, McCook, NE), Brookdale McCook Senior Living Community (East 11^th Street, McCook, NE), as well as area retailers.
