San Diego (Vocus) June 7, 2007 -- The search is on for America's most picture-perfect pets during the PETCO Foundation's 2008 Calendar Pet Photo Contest. The contest, now underway, will name 15 winners who will be featured in the PETCO Foundation 2008 Making a Difference calendar.

The calendar is not only a great way to raise money to support the PETCO Foundation's mission of helping animals across the country, but also a wonderful collection of personal stories, many of which involve adopted animals
Contestants can visit www.petcofoundation.org to submit their photos, where they will be housed and voted on by the public. Voters will narrow the field and then a panel of PETCO judges will choose the final winners. All winners will be featured in the 2008 calendar - to be sold in PETCO stores nationwide and on PETCO.com - as well as other great prizes.

"The calendar is not only a great way to raise money to support the PETCO Foundation's mission of helping animals across the country, but also a wonderful collection of personal stories, many of which involve adopted animals," says PETCO Foundation National Development Coordinator Tracie Plefka.

In addition to submitting a photo of their pet, contestants will submit a description, of up to 450 characters, telling why their pet makes a difference in their life.

For official rules and more information visit www.petcofoundation.org. Participants must enter by June 30, 2007.

Riley, an adoptee from the Chula Vista Humane Society, was featured on the cover on the PETCO Foundation 2007 Making a Difference Calendar. “The minute I saw Riley, it was love at first sight. Riley’s gentle personality and happy-go-lucky nature have helped me get through tough times. I can't imagine not having him in my life,” wrote Amy from San Diego.
