The 13th annual nonprofit St. Augustine Humane Society Pin Up Paws fundraiser and pet calendar contest is underway with the theme, “Best Buds”. Photos will feature winning pets in a flower garden setting. Funds raised support their mission of providing veterinary care and resources to disadvantaged pet owners. Last year, more than $33,000 was raised by calendar votes and donations to the campaign.

After submitting a photo of the beloved pet, contestants can start campaigning, with each vote valued at one dollar. At the end of the contest, the pet with the most votes by August 12 will be the 2024 Pin Up Paws cover pet. All first- and second-place winners will receive  professional photography sessions, along with gift certificates from Columbia Restaurant.

The 12 pets with the next-highest number of votes will be runners-up and have the image they submitted in a one-and-a-half-inch space in the calendar. The top 80 pet contestants will have their submitted photos included in a calendar collage. The calendars will be available for $12 each starting in November.
