Is Your Dog Calendar-Cover Worthy? Kiss My Paws Rescue Wants to Find Out!

Las Vegas, we know your dogs are adorable. The kind of adorable that stops strangers mid-sentence, makes you late to brunch, and somehow racks up more Instagram followers than you. And now, Kiss My Paws Rescue is giving your pup a chance to turn that cuteness into real change for dogs in need — and maybe land them on the cover of their 2026 calendar.

Here’s the scoop: The Kiss My Paws Photo Contest is open to dogs everywhere (yes, even your cousin’s rescue pup in Ohio can enter). The top 12 vote-getters will earn a coveted “pin-up” spot in the 2026 Kiss My Paws calendar and get a free copy to show off to friends, coworkers, and anyone who so much as glances at your fridge.

What’s in it for the winners?

• 1st Place: $100 gift card + a Kiss My Paws doggie gift basket.
• 2nd Place: $50 gift card.
• 3rd Place: $25 gift card.
• Top 12: Free 2026 calendar featuring your dog as the model of the month.

What’s in it for the dogs who need help?

Every single vote is $1, and those dollars go straight to Kiss My Paws Rescue — a Las Vegas–based 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to saving, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs. They tackle the tough stuff, from overcrowded shelters to overbreeding, and every contribution helps.

Think of it this way:

• $5 can help feed a rescue dog for a few days.
• $10 might help cover vaccines or medications.
• $25 could go toward transport for a dog from an overcrowded shelter to a safe foster home.

So when you vote, you’re not just supporting a cute dog photo — you’re helping save lives.
