Pawprints Calendar Stars Competition
Pawprints are teaming up with Stephanie Colledge Photography
again to create our 2027 Pawprints Calendar!
We need Calendar Stars... would your rescue dog like to be one of them?
Last year was our first collaboration year with Steph and featuring former-Pawprints dogs… our most recent Pawprints Calendar was hound-breaking and we can’t wait to do it again!
This year we would like to open up the search for our stars to ALL RESCUE dogs, meaning ANY dog rescued and now in a loving home can enter. More exciting news… our calendar will be photographed outdoors (hoping the weather dogs are on our side)!
We are looking for the dogs who like to run, jump and play, alongside the ball and treat chasers. But also, the older good boys and girls who love to live life at their own pace and can stand still, sit (sometimes) or simply rest in the grass!

So, how do you get involved?
Entry donation:
Suggested minimum donation of £3 per rescue doggie entry!
How to enter:
Click on the button below to enter your good boys and girls, but prior to entering please make sure you read all the competition rules (drop-down below and in the entry form T&Cs). Alternatively, you can get in touch via pdrescue@hotmail.com to enter.
Competition close:
You have until midday (12:00pm) on Wednesday 18th March to enter your rescue dog.
Not to spoil the paw-ty, but…
This competition is open to ALL rescue dogs, not just former-Pawprints pups. HOWEVER, we do ask for your honesty when entering your rescue dog. If your dog isn’t a rescue, sadly we will not be able to consider them for the calendar (huge a-paw-logies).
For all important information and details about the photo sessions, please open the tabs in the drop down menu below.
