Pet owners interested in taking part in this year\u2019s \u201cPicture Perfect Pet\u201d calendar contest hosted by the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society now have a perfect chance to do so.
\nIf an interested pet owner hasn\u2019t scheduled a photo shoot yet, CPHS has scheduled a special day which is Sunday, April 15, for a photo shoot by professional photographer Scott Paul to be held at the shelter.
\nNo appointments are necessary, and photos will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis from noon until 5 p.m.
\nThe photos will be used to gather donations for local pets vying for spots on the special 2008 calendar. Pet owners will pay a flat fee of $10 and receive one 8 by 10 print and one 3 by 5 print. They\u2019ll use the smaller print to gather donations from friends, relatives, neighbors, business associates and community members.
\nThe top 12 fundraisers will earn a spot as a featured month of the calendar. The next 12 will be featured as \u201chonorable mentions\u201d. All entries who raise at least $20 will be shown on the calendar.
\nLast year, the lowest amount raised to earn a month appearance was just over $500. The 12 contestants who raised between $200 and $500 earned spots on the \u201cHonorable Mention\u201d page.
\n\u201cWe never know how much it will take to earn the various placements,\u201d said Dave Hopkins, CPHS Director of Fundraising\/Public Relations. \u201cThis year, it might be a little less but we\u2019re hoping everyone will keep in mind that all the donations collected go directly to help care for our homeless animals.\u201d
\nThe April shoot will take place in the education center location, (gray building) adjacent to the shelter (1837 E. Pleasant Valley Blvd.). The photo sessions should last only about 10-15 minutes each and will be done in order of pet owner arrival and check-in.
\nContest rules and information can be found on the shelter\u2019s website (www.centralpahumanesociety.org) in the \u201cNews\u201d area or entrants can pick up the information sheets at the shelter, local veterinarian offices, pet-related businesses and some selected retail stores.
