With just a couple more weeks to go, it’s time to get ready for the Calendar Contest Countdown Party at Proof Brewing Company — where local pets compete, the community rallies, and we raise our glasses to helping animals! 
The competition has been ruff, with dozens of adorable pets clawing their way to the top. But only a lucky few will land a month-long feature and be named top dog (or cat!).
Where: Proof Brewing Company
When: June 30th from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Why: We’re announcing which beloved pets will claim a spot in the 2026 calendar — and win an exclusive professional photoshoot with Black and Hue Photography!
Who: Whether you entered a pet in our contest, have our calendar hanging in your office, or just want to enjoy an evening surrounded by fellow animal lovers while supporting the Leon County Humane Society, you’re welcome to attend. Invite your cheer squad and secure last-minute votes to cat-apult your pet to the top!
This is more than just cute faces. It’s a battle for the spotlight! So far, 64 pets have entered, and only 13 will earn their place on the cover and months of our 2026 Paw Prints Calendar.
What’s Happening:
- Live countdown to the big winner reveal
Ability to watch our Leaderboard change in real time
Music, photo ops, and calendar presales
Raffle prizes and Superlative awards for our entered pets
Every entry, every vote, and every calendar sold helps support animals in our community.
When you cheer on your favorite furry contestant, you’re also helping pets find homes, veterinary care, and second chances.
Come out, cast your final cheers, and celebrate the cutest competition of the year — all for a great cause!
