Welcome to the 2026 Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue Calendar Contest!
Do you think YOUR Yankee rescue dog could be the next iconic cover boy or girl?
Here is your chance to have your YGRR 4-legged family member featured in our 2026 calendar! Enter your best photo, share your YGRR dog’s story, and get as many votes as you can by sharing far and wide!
It’s an easy process:
1. Enter your photo for free into the contest during the contest timeframe, following the contest rules.
2. Gather votes for your photo by sharing with your family, friends, and co-workers! Share on social media or send a link via email or text!
3. Keep an eye! As the contest winds down to the end, make sure you have all your friends and family ready to vote during the madness of the final day!
YGRR will also be sharing the contest to our social media. The public will vote for their favorites! The 12 YGRR dog photos with the most votes will receive a larger picture in our 2026 calendar and the dog with the most votes will win the coveted calendar cover placement.
Once your entry is confirmed, send the "share" links to your social media, family and friends. Votes are viewable real-time and everyone can track their dog’s progress.
If you don’t plan to enter the contest, you can still support YGRR by voting!!
2026 contest opens 8:00:00 AM (Eastern Time) on Wednesday, July 9, 2025 and closes at 8:00:00 PM (Eastern Time) on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.
