May the dogs be ever in your favour

Are you the type of person who has a dedicated Instagram profile for your pet? Do you refer to your pet as a ‘floofy child’ and spend more money on their birthdays than you would for your friends, family, or yourself?

Well, you’re in luck because Animal Aid is giving you the chance to make your pet a superstar and share its floofyness with the world.

The Animal Aid Photography contest has opened its doors to residents of the Yarra Ranges and the best photos entered will be included in this year’s Animal Aid Calendar.

The only way to be in with a chance of getting your beloved bestie in the calendar is by snapping a professional photo of your beloved dog/cat/horse/lizard or pig looking nothing less than fabulous. To find out more and to enter go to: https://bit.ly/2OYV3oY.

All the money raised from the calendar goes toward urgently needed funds for stray and homeless pets like the ones pictured.
