***UPDATE***
The AM-AZ-ING supporters of Colorado Pet Pantry outdid and outbid themselves this year!!! We raised a whopping $24,000 to further the mission of keeping Colorado's pets out of shelters and with the families who already love them by providing much needed food & supplies to Colorado families facing financial struggle.
Back By Pupular Demand!!!
Yes, folks it is true at early this year, I packed up my pups and moved a 1000 miles away to beautiful North Idaho!!! But I just couldn't leave my beloved Colorado Pet Pantry & Colorado's Next Top Pet Model in the lurch. So I'm comin' back from June 17th-25th! I'll be in Denver to photograph all the lucky winners of the contest, plus we might squeak in a few extra if there's time.
This pawesome contest just gets better every year! With more pawesome prizes and more money raised for Colorado's pets in need! Don't delay, get your cutest pet entered today!

Pro Tips For Entry Photos:
- Pick one that shows your pets personality, favorite hobby or a beloved toy.
- Be sure it's well-lit, sometimes going outside can help.
- Try to find one where your pet is looking at the camera, these are more engaging to voters. (For some pets this is a tough one, don't worry if you can't get it. Our winner last year wasn't looking in his entry photo and he did GREAT!
- Try different angles, sometimes up high is adorable and sometimes eye level or below is better.
- Remember to use lots of treats and praise so it's fun for your pet!
Let's take a quick look back on last years winners!
