It’s time to make your pet a star! The Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) is holding an online pet photo contest, Pet Mania, from Oct. 1 at 8 a.m. until Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. For $5, you can submit up to five photos of your furry friends. Then, make sure to let your friends and family know it’s time to vote, vote, vote! It is $1 per vote, and you can vote as many times as you would like. Don’t forget to share your entry on your social media! The winning photo will be on the cover of the RCHS 2022 wall calendar! The second through fourth place winners will be the featured photograph for a specific month. Additionally, if you are interested in a guaranteed spot in the calendar, you can reserve a specific day to honor your pet for $10, and you pet’s photo will appear on the day of your choice — first come, first served! You can also pre-order your calendar, just in time for the holidays! Visit the RCHS website at rchsvt.org to learn more, enter your photo, or vote for your favorite pet.
