Make Your Pet a Star! Calendar photos wanted
Make your pet a star!
The Friends of Beverly Animals (FOBA) is seeking pet photos for our 2019 calendar. Send a favorite photo (no more than three of each pet, please) of dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, any animal you care about, as long as it’s a good and interesting photo. The deadline for submission is July 31st. Send to bhannable@gmail.com and include the words “2019 calendar” in the email subject line.
Photos should be good quality (at least 100 dpi or 4″x6″ in size), not blurry or dark, with no people (or people parts) in them. Identify the animal(s) by name and state owner’s name. Extra consideration will be given to rescues and those adopted through FOBA, so please tell us if the animal/pet was adopted from FOBA or another rescue organization or shelter. For more information, go to friendsofbeverlyanimals.org, FOBA’s Facebook page, or email bhannable@gmail.com or call 978-922-7190.
Selling calendars is one of the ways FOBA raises money to support the rescue and adoption placement work we do. Here are the cover from this year’s calendar and the month of July 2018. Receipt of your photos will be acknowledged, but please be patient because we receive a lot of photos!
Thank you for supporting the Friends of Beverly Animals!
