Photos: Dubuque’s Paws on Patrol- Vote for Your Favorite First Responder/Pet Duo & Support Local Animals!

Get ready to support local heroes – both two-legged and four! The Dubuque Regional Humane Society (DRHS) is rolling out its Paws on Patrol Calendar Contest, an exciting fundraiser bringing together local first responders and adoptable animals in the cutest way possible. Nine organizations from across the tri-state area have teamed up with DRHS, posing with adoptable animals for photos that highlight their dedication to our community. Now, it’s your turn to join in the fun and make a difference!

Right now, the public can note for their favorite photos. Voting is easy: each $1 donation counts as a vote, so feel free to show your support as much as you’d like! Voting ends on November 17th, 2024, at 11:59:59 PM Central Time. All voting will take place through GoGo Photo Contest, and each dollar goes directly to support DRHS’s mission of providing life-saving care and resources for animals in need.

By voting, you’re giving these hardworking teams a chance to be featured as a full-page spread in the 2025 Paws on Patrol Calendar! The top 12 photos with the most votes will each have a full-page slot, and even if a team doesn’t make the top 12, they’ll still be showcased in a fun collage on the front or back cover. So, every participant gets recognition, and every vote makes a difference.
