A panel of our local celebrity friends will judge the entries and select 12 pictures that will be featured as “Pet of the Month.” Even if not selected for “Pet of the Month,” your pet’s picture is guaranteed to be included on the pages of the 2009 Cleveland APL Pets Calendar AND you will receive a copy of our calendar in October 2008.
