Local pet owners are lining up to buy the new \u201cPicture Perfect Pet\u201d 2007 calendar now on sale to benefit the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society.
\nThe full color, glossy print calendars feature over 70 local pets who competed for the honor of being pictured as a month, on a special \u201chonorable mention\u201d page or on the front\/back cover.
\n\u201cThis is our second year of producing the calendar and we think we\u2019ve \u2018kicked it up a notch\u2019,\u201d said Dave Hopkins, CPHS Director of Fundraising\/Public Relations.
\n Pet owners this year raised over $20,000 in the contest, setting a new all-time record by more than $3,000 for an individual fundraising event to benefit the shelter\u2019s homeless animals.
\nThe calendars sell for $7 each ($5 to CPHS card-carrying members) and are carried by some local retailers, veterinary offices and the CPHS shelter and thrift shop. Among those signed up to carry the calendars are The Daily Herald, Chris\u2019 Hallmark, Brew Zoo (both in the Pleasant Valley Shopping Center), Thompson Pharmacy (Chestnut Ave.), V.I.P. Pets and Aquarium, Tyrone Veterinary Associates, New Look Uniform, Ambience Photography, Moments Photography, Ray Kauffman Photography, Baronner\u2019s Farm Market, Quality Awards, A-1 Auto Glass, Beaks, Paws and Claws (Hollidaysburg), Veterinary Hospital of Altoona, Rustic Country Furniture (Lakemont) and more to be announced later.
\n\u201cWe have a limited quantity this year and we hope folks will buy them soon so they\u2019re not disappointed,\u201d said Hopkins.
\nThe shelter accepts cash, check, money orders or credit cards as do most of the merchants selling the calendars.
\n\u201cWe want to thank everyone who took part in this project,\u201d said Hopkins. \u201cAll the pet owners, our advertisers, our printer (Press Box) and especially our photographers who did such an incredible job.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
