You’re Invited to the Calendar Countdown Party!

Join us at Proof Brewing Company for the ultimate Calendar Contest Countdown Party — a night of celebration, anticipation, and community with some incredible animal lovers!

📍 Where: Proof Brewing Company
📆 When: 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m
🎨 Why: We’re finding out the 13 winners of this year’s highly anticipated Calendar Contest!

Join us for a night of FUNdraising with other animal lovers! We’ll be watching votes roll in and our leaderboard update to see who ends up in our top 13, winning one of the coveted spots on our Paw Prints Calendar.

Proof – our incredible hosts – will have the bar and a limited menu available for purchase. They’re normally closed on Monday evenings, but they’re open just so they can help us raise money for animals in our community!

We’ll also have live music from Steven Ritter & The Whatnots, TWENTY raffles with gifts you can win for yourself and/or your pets, and awards we’ll be presenting for our Contest Superlatives, chosen by an anonymous panel of judges and including titles such as: “Best Dressed,” “Fanciest Feline,” “Cutest Smile” and more!

Haven’t been keeping up with the ins and outs of our contest? Not required for entry – we’ll get you caught up at the door. Just come ready to support our mission to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Educate so we can continue to help animals in our community! Have a beer, meet local animal lovers, enjoy music from Steven Ritter & The Whatnots, treat your pup to goodies from Zomad Bakeries, enter to win raffle prizes, and make some dreams come true!

Are you the proud Pet Mom/Dad/Representative of one of our entrants? At the door you’ll be handed a Vote Kit with a scannable QR Code leading to your pet and extra raffle tickets you can hand out at your discretion (or use yourself,) to help encourage attendees to vote for your pet!

Keep voting and don’t fall behind! The last week (and final hours) can be some of the most competitive!

Bring your crew, grab a pint, and get ready to cheer on your favorites. Let’s raise our glasses to animals being rescued, a wonderful community, and a calendar worth hanging up all year long! 


Happy Sweet Sixteenth Birthday to Smudge!

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate our beloved Smudge AND thank you for helping us to reach her fundraising goal in our Paw Prints Calendar Contest. Every “vote” is a $1 donation toward our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and educate. Since it’s looking like the odds might be pretty good that Smudge will win the honor of being photographed by Black and Hue Photography and grace the cover or one of the calendar months of the 2026 Paw Prints Calendar, you can also show off your Smudge Love by pre-ordering the Calendar by clicking below.

Smudge is thrilled that future cats will receive lifesaving care & appreciates that her Churu cabinet’s full again! She (we) loved seeing everyone!
