How does it work? Pets compete in a fundraising contest with the top 12 pets winning a professional photoshoot and one-month calendar spread along with the #1 pet winning the coveted calendar cover! Every $1 donated counts as one vote for your pet to win, and every dollar raised support Richmond Animal League’s mission. Winners will be photographed by Brittany Rose Petography for their modeling debut, and every pet that raises $250+ will get a photo on a date in the calendar! Last year’s voting raised over $85,000 for animals in need!

REGISTRATION OPENS JULY 28th

Voting ends September 27th at Richmond Animal League’s Fall Fest Event!

Make your pet a star!

RAL Fall Fest & Calendar Contest Countdown

Join us for this year's Calendar Contest, running from July 28th to September 27th. We will cap off the contest with the RAL Fall Fest on September 27th, a celebration of the incredible fundraising achievements during the contest. The top 12 Calendar Winners, who will be featured in the 2026 RAL Calendar, will be announced at the end of the Fall Fest.

The fest will take place at Richmond Animal League. Expect a lively atmosphere with vendors, live music, and food. Don't miss out on the festivities!

2025 Calendar Cover Winner Maya

Our 2025 Calendar Contest Winner was Maya!

Is Maya spoiled? Yes. Is she willful? Also yes. But she makes us for all that by being the sweetest, most loving dog to her humans, her friends, and the dozens of foster dos she’s helped along the way to their forever homes.
