The Dubuque Regional Humane Society is thrilled to introduce the Best In Show DRHS 2026 Calendar Contest! Because honestly, who doesn’t love showing off their amazing, one-of-a-kind pet? From now until Sunday, September 14, pet owners can submit their favorite photo of their furry, feathered, or even scaly companions for the chance to be featured in our 2026 calendar. This fundraiser promises to be filled with heartwarming images of the beloved pets that brighten our lives every day, while also raising lifesaving funds to support the animals in our care.
