Paws in the Wild
They may not be wild, but we love celebrating all animals—including our pet companions!
Capture your pet enjoying the great outdoors and enter for a chance to win fun prizes and bragging rights! Whether they’re leaping through leaves, lounging in the grass, or just soaking up the sun, we want to see your furry (or scaly, or feathery!) friend's best outdoor moments.
Submit your favorite photo of your pet enjoying the outdoors responsibly (safe & under control).
Participants are invited to bring leashed pets to join the celebration with prizes, treats, and giveaways!
All submissions will be displayed during Spring Break week for public voting, winners will be
announced at the award ceremony on March 28th at noon!
