Dog-Harmony, founded in 2015, has announced the launch of its “Love in Focus” calendar contest to mark the milestone and raise funds for its ongoing mission.
From June 15 through July 15, dog owners can enter a photo of their pet at gogophotocontest.com/dog-harmony with a $10 donation. Each donation counts as one vote, and supporters can vote as many times as they’d like. Donations of $100 or more include a free copy of the 2026 calendar.
The 12 top-voted dogs will be featured in the Dog-Harmony calendar, with professional photo sessions provided by Wooftografie. Proceeds will go directly to Dog-Harmony’s programs, which include community education, therapy dog outreach, and wellness visits.
“Reaching this 10-year milestone is a source of immense pride,” said Dog-Harmony founder Nancy Bown.
“The ‘Love in Focus’ contest is a fantastic way to celebrate the joy dogs bring and is a crucial fundraiser that enables us to continue our vital work.”

Dog-Harmony is also seeking sponsors for the calendar, with details available at Dog-Harmony.org/love-in-focus-calendar-contest.
Founded by Ms Bown, a certified professional dog trainer, Dog-Harmony is built around the idea that dogs can rescue people just as much as people rescue dogs. The organization provides education in schools, visits to hospitals and youth programs, and works to keep dogs in homes through empathy, support, and responsible pet ownership.
Dog-Harmony relies entirely on donations, grants, and volunteers.
