Is your pet ready for their close-up? The Yakima Humane Society’s annual calendar contest is back, and we’re looking for the next cover star. Enter your favorite photo of your pet for a chance to be featured in our 2026 calendar — including a coveted spot on the cover or one of twelve monthly spreads.
Every entry and vote helps fund critical shelter services, medical care, and second chances for animals in need across Yakima County. It’s a fun and meaningful way to show off your furry friend while supporting a great cause.
