Pet owners interested in taking part in the “Picture Perfect Pet” calendar contest hosted by the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society and have not yet scheduled a photo shoot will have a special opportunity to get involved soon.

CPHS has scheduled a special day (Saturday, April 22nd) for a photo shoot by professional photographer Scott Paul to be held at the shelter.

No appointments are necessary and photos will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis from noon until 5pm.

The photos will be used to gather donations for local pets vying for spots on the special 2007 calendar. Pet owners will pay a flat fee of $10 and receive one 8 by 10 print and one 3 by 5 print. They’ll use the smaller print to gather donations from friends, relatives, neighbors, business associates and community members. The top twelve fundraisers will earn a spot as a featured month of the calendar. The next 12 will be featured as “honorable mentions”. All entries, regardless of the amount raised, will be shown on the calendar.

The April shoot will take place in the Education Center location, (gray building) adjacent to the shelter (1837 E. Pleasant Valley Blvd.). The photo sessions should last only about 10-15 minutes each and will be done in order of pet owner arrival and check-in.
