Sauk County Humane Society

Sauk County Humane Society's 2014 Calendar Contest!

Does your dog strike a pose when you bring out the camera? Does your cat smile when you say "cheese"? Then the SCHS's calendar might be a great spot to make your pet "famous"! One lucky winner will be chosen for the highly coveted cover photo and twelve others will be selected as a “Pet of the Month.”

Entry fees ($10 per entry) and calendar sales all benefit the homeless, abandoned, and mistreated animals served by the SCHS every year.

**Only photographs of companion animals will be selected. Pictures submitted must be landscape layout. All animals must be depicted in a humane and dignified manner. No prong or choke collars. SCHS promotes indoor only cat ownership. No photos of cats outdoors, please.

We will accept 4X6 inch prints or larger but prefer high resolution photos by email or on CD. Digital entries must be at least 300 dpi and 2550 x 2550 pixels to be considered. We cannot accept black and white or Polaroid images. If your entry was taken by a professional photographer or commercial studio, you must mail a signed copyright release to the SCHS. All entries must be received no later than June 21, 2013 to be considered. Photos become the property of SCHS and may be used and/or altered for the 2014 calendar and for other fundraising efforts.

** Please email photos, completed entry form (available at the shelter, and by clicking on the photo above), along with your payment by June 21, 2013 to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Pet of the Week

Mackenzie

Mackenzie is five year old beagle mix who arrived at the shelter as a stray a few weeks ago. She has a very gentle disposition and though Mackenzie may appear shy at first, she is exceptionally friendly and affectionate. She is recommended for a house with children over the age of five due to sensitivities of her ears, and is okay to go with other dogs or cats. Mackenzie is spayed and up-to-date on all initial shots.

Pet of the Week

Oleander

Oleander is a two-year-old domestic shorthair calico who survived an extremely tough past. You may notice her left eye looks a bit different, but believe it or not she was used as a target for a BB gun. Despite it all, she is an extremely affectionate lap cat who just wants someone to love her! Oleander has a calm, gentle demeanor and enjoys lots of lap time. She doesn't mind being picked up or carried, especially if it means she'll get extra petting time. Oleander is spayed and current on all initial vaccinations.
