Southwest Florida pet owners can enter their dogs or cats in the Patty Baker Humane Society Naples calendar contest through Sept. 15, 2026. The top 12 pets will receive full-page features in the organization’s 2027 calendar, while pets earning at least five votes are guaranteed a spot on a collage page.
The first-ever “The Real Housepets of Naples” contest is open to dogs and cats, and pets do not need to live in Naples to participate.
How do families enter the Naples pet calendar contest?
Pet owners can submit a photo through the contest website until 8 p.m. Sept. 15. Each entry costs $20 and includes one 2027 Patty Baker Humane Society Naples calendar.
Friends, relatives and other community members can vote for their favorite pets for $1 per vote. Proceeds from entries and voting support Patty Baker Humane Society Naples.

How are pets chosen for the 2027 calendar?
The 12 dogs or cats with the most votes will each receive a full-page feature as one of the calendar’s pets of the month. Any pet that receives at least five votes will appear on a collage page.
The first-place pet also receives a prize package that includes:
- First choice of featured month in the 2027 calendar
- A professional photography session
- Two tickets to the 2027 Pet Lovers Gala
- A $300 Ridgway Bar & Grill gift card
- Two additional 2027 calendars
- A feature on Patty Baker Humane Society Naples social media, blog and newsletter
- The opportunity to name a future litter of puppies or kittens
Can pets outside Naples enter?
Yes. Although the Patty Baker Humane Society Naples calendar contest is based in Collier County, the release says participating dogs and cats do not need to live in Naples.
That makes the contest open to pet-loving families throughout Collier and Lee Counties and beyond, as long as they meet the contest requirements.
