2026 Calendar Pet Photo Contest
Calendar Contest is NOW OPEN for Entries and Votes!
It’s that time of year again! HSCC’s famous annual calendar contest runs August
27th through September 27th and we hope you’ll be part of the fun.
There are two ways you can participate:
Enter the contest! Click the button to submit your favorite picture of your pet(s) for a chance to win the cover display of the calendar! Enter by submitting one high resolution photo of your family pet, their name and a brief bio, with $30 entry fee which will reserve a 2026 calendar. All entries must be submitted online on this contest website to be considered and published for voting. Photos to be included in the calendar will be chosen by vote. Calendars will be available in November and will make great Holiday gifts!
Vote for your favorite pets! Each vote = $1 per vote, $5 minimum, to the Humane Society. All donations will be used to provide care and medical treatment for the homeless animals. The Humane Society also provides community services, education, affordable spay and neuter services and vaccinations.
Through your support and participation in events like our annual photo calendar contest, we can continue to go above and beyond, not only for animals at the shelter, but for pets - and the people who love them - across the community, providing food, guidance, medical support and peace of mind.
GOLDEN PAWS GALA
Golden Paws Gala is a celebration of 50 years of loving our Furry Friends and also a fundraiser to help the Humane Society of Charles County provide shelter and care for the hundreds of sick, injured and homeless animals that will come to them for life saving help this year. We cannot save these animals without the support of our volunteers, foster families and supporters like you. Your love, compassion and generosity will help give the animals a second chance at happiness.
We invite you to join us on Friday, October 10th, 6pm to 10pm, at the Waldorf Jaycees. Look forward to live music performed by the “Original” Moonlighters from the Washington DC area. A high-energy band playing the best of Motown and current music that will not disappoint. We will also have a cash bar, silent auction, 50/50 raffles and something new…a Lipsologist…so much fun! Early bird tickets are $65 until August 25th, then $75 prior to the event.
