Your pet has more than a dozen chances to be featured, along with several ways to earn fun rewards while supporting a great cause. Each dollar donated counts as one vote. For example, a $25 donation to your pet’s campaign gives them 25 votes toward being spotlighted.
Grand Prize (1st Place)
The pet with the most votes will be featured on the front cover of the 2026 Paws of Yakima calendar and receive a full monthly spread inside. The winner will also receive a free copy of the calendar and the title of Yakima’s top pet model.
Runners-Up (2nd–12th Place)
The next eleven highest vote-getters will each earn a monthly feature in the calendar and receive a free calendar to celebrate their pet’s spotlight moment.
Community Champions
Any participant who receives 250 votes or more will have their pet’s photo featured on a blank date square within the calendar and receive a free calendar as a thank-you for their impact.
Bonus Reward
All participants who receive 100 votes or more will receive a free calendar.
Whether your pet lands the cover, a monthly spread, or a date square, every entry and vote helps Yakima Humane Society care for homeless pets and celebrate the bond between animals and the people who love them.
