Congratulations to our 2026 Calendar Contest Winners!

We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated in the 2026 Cascades Humane Society Calendar Contest. Your entries, votes, and support help us celebrate the bond between people and pets while raising crucial funds for the animals in our care. Each photo told a story, and together, they created a beautiful tribute to the love and joy our furry companions bring into our lives.

A very special thank you goes to Freeland Photography for lending her incredible talent and time to this project. Her skill and compassion shine through in every image, and we’re honored to have her as part of our mission.

Thank you again for helping us make this year’s calendar one to remember. We couldn’t do it without our amazing community!

We love seeing all of your pets, and are so incredibly grateful for your participation and support of Cascades Humane Society.
