To honor St. Valentine and our furry paramours, the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) is launching a special online photo contest and encouraging pet parents to submit photos of their beloved cat and dog Valentines.
"Celebrating the important and lasting bonds we have with our pets is only natural during this love-filled time of the year," said ASPCA President and CEO Ed Sayres. "And while caring for and loving animals is important all year long, this photo contest is a great way to show how much we appreciate those special four-legged friends in our lives."
The contest opens on February 1, but pet parents should remember to submit their photos by February 29, when the contest closes. Winners will be announced in late March. Ten winners of this year's contest will be featured on the organization's web site at ASPCA.org, and will also receive a prize pack, including a copy of The Emotional Lives of Animals by Marc Bekoff, an ASPCA t-shirt, plush toy, and wristband.
