THANK YOU!

A Big Shout Out to You:
Our Amazing Pyr Protection Army!

You who entered your dogs, rallied friends, voted, bought a calendar or a day, shared a tribute to a beloved pet, and cheered this whole thing on, thank you. And to our amazingly generous sponsors who stepped up to help, thank you too. Your support helps cover the cost of producing the calendar so every dollar raised can go to life-saving surgeries, spays & neuters, puppy shots, and second chances for Great Pyrenees in need.🩵

Our Calendar Sponsors!

2027 Calendar Cover Sponsor

Kuyrkendall & Company, Inc.

Thank you, Deborah and Don!

Family-led since 1978, Kuyrkendall & Company is a full-service real estate firm serving San Antonio and Central Texas, with expertise in commercial, retail, investment, and executive residential properties. Known for integrity, experience, and personal care, they help build strong local communities.

Together, We Raised$31,082!

This is a true blessing in a year that has been especially hard. So many Pyrs have come to us with serious, complicated medical needs, and we have tried with everything we have not to close intake. In the past few weeks, we came frighteningly close.

Because of you, we have more room to keep saying yes, keep providing lifesaving care, and keep our rescue mission moving forward.

A huge floofy shout-out goes to our Cover Sponsor, Kuyrkendall & Company, Inc., and our Month Sponsors, Net's Happy Pets Board & Train and Vickery Place Animal Hospital.

Their generosity covered our calendar production costs, which means 100% of the $31,082 raised can go directly to the dogs.

Please show these wonderful businesses some love. They are generous human beings, devoted Pyr lovers, and the kind of community partners who make rescue possible. 🩵

Great Pyrenees

Why We Raise Funds

Every entry, vote, order, and sponsorship helps TGPR say yes to Great Pyrenees at risk in Texas.

Our calendar is both a beautiful collection of stories and also our biggest fundraiser of the year. It's what allows us to make the medical fund whole again, order prevention for a couple more months, and make sure our special needs Pyrs have a place to rest. It's a full year of second chances.

FAQs

What is the calendar contest?

It's our biggest fundraiser of the year! The contest determines which photos will be in our annual calendar featuring Great Pyrenees, Pyr mixes, and LGD working dogs. Supporters enter photos, vote, reserve special dates, and help raise critical funds for rescue.

Who can enter the contest?

Residents of the United States and Canada may enter.

How much does it cost to enter?

Contest entries are $30 per dog/photo, and entry comes with 5 free votes!

What kind of photo should I submit?

Please submit one color, high-quality digital photo of a Great Pyrenees, Pyr mix, or LGD working dog with the animals they protect. Most phone photos work great if you upload the original photo file in its full size. Avoid screenshots, social media downloads, cropped images, or photos saved from text messages, since those may not print clearly in the calendar. Ideal photo size for best print quality is 3000 x 3900px, this said we'll accept most images 1250 x 1625px or higher.

Can people be in contest photos?

No. Contest photos may not include people of any age, including adults, teens, children, or infants.

Can I enter more than one dog?

Yes. You may submit one entry per Great Pyrenees or Pyr mix.

Will every dog be in the calendar?

The winners will receive featured spots, and all other eligible entries will be included in the calendar collage pages.
