Soul Dog Rescue Calendar Contest: How Voting Works & How to Win

What is the Soul Dog Rescue Calendar Contest and who runs it?

Soul Dog Rescue keeps its headquarters at 1245 Factory Circle in Fort Lupton, Colorado, and presents this programme on its own pages as a Fundraiser for Soul Dog Rescue. Visitors settle which dog's photograph headlines the next calendar, and that settlement happens on the rescue's contest site, https://www.gogophotocontest.com/souldogrescue. Five labelled destinations organise the site: Participate handles photo submission, View Entries opens the competing gallery, Contest Rules carries the fine print, Prizes sets out the rewards, and About Soul Dog Rescue introduces the organisation behind it all.

The 2026 installment carries a creative credit. The announcement reads, "Soul Dog Rescue, in collaboration with Crimson Cat Studios, is happy to announce its 2026 Dogs with Soul Calendar!" That calendar, per the same announcement, went on sale beginning October 2025. The rescue also frames the finished product warmly, calling it a scrapbook of the animals, people, memories and moments tied to its work rather than a bare datebook.

Stakes for entrants are concrete. The first-place photograph takes the cover of the 2027 Soul Dog Rescue Calendar and additionally serves as the featured image for a single calendar month.

Which Soul Dog Rescue calendar editions have run, and when does the current vote open and close?

Edition history for the programme spans 2024, 2025 and 2026, three summers in which the calendar vote has behaved as a recurring fundraiser with a fresh theme each time rather than a stand-alone event.

Dates for the current cycle are printed in full. Voting opens at noon, 12:00 PM Mountain Time, on Monday, July 6, 2026, and closes at 10:00 PM Mountain Time on Monday, August 31, 2026. Winners follow in September 2026, and the calendars themselves become available for purchase in fall 2026.

The prior edition kept the same landing spot with different bookends. Its voting period started at 8am Mountain Time on August 1, 2025 and ended at midnight Mountain Time on August 31, 2025, according to the contest's rules page.

Several details stay off the printed pages. Soul Dog Rescue publishes neither a list of entry categories nor terms saying who may submit a photograph, and nothing sets a ceiling on repeat visits either; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

How does a supporter cast a vote in the Soul Dog Rescue calendar fundraiser?

Taking part starts with the ballot address, https://www.gogophotocontest.com/souldogrescue, opened during the window that ends August 31, 2026. From there the View Entries tab leads into the gallery of competing dog photos. A supporter chooses the entry worth backing and submits a vote for it through the ballot's own controls.

The contest's masthead titles the event the Soul Dog Rescue 2027 Calendar Contest, tying the vote directly to the product it feeds. Two practical points stay open in the published text. One more menu item, Sign In, raises a question the printed pages never settle: whether a vote registers only for signed-in visitors. And nothing in the rescue's instructions tells supporters how often the same person may come back, so anyone planning repeated visits should follow whatever the rules page instructs once voting is live.

Reading the ballot's own signals

Paying is not part of casting a vote here. The rescue's instructions walk a supporter through browsing and choosing only, and the money side of this fundraiser arrives later, after the September 2026 winners are named, when the finished calendars go up for sale.

How does this ballot sit beside Colorado's other pet photo contests?

Colorado's pet-photo ballot scene holds several programmes beside this one, and the closest neighbours share its vertical. They are the Candy Cane Pets Contest, the Dumb Friends League Calendar Photo Contest, the Dumb Friends League Pet Photo Contest, NoCo's Cutest Dog and The Real House Pets of Colorado Calendar Contest.

Shared ground is easy to see: each of these ballots turns pet photos into a public popularity decision somewhere in Colorado. The differences start with who benefits and what the winner gets. Soul Dog Rescue's version channels attention toward a Fort Lupton shelter and pays its winner with the 2027 calendar cover, a prize tied to a physical product supporters can hang on a wall.

Timing separates them too. The Soul Dog Rescue window shuts on August 31, while the neighbours run their own schedules on their own ballots.

How can a supporter help a favourite entry climb this fundraiser's standings?

Weeks of open voting reward steady, visible campaigning. Sharing the entry's link with people who love dogs, nudging them again before the August 31 finish, and returning to the ballot whenever its rules allow are the actions a supporter fully controls.

Soul Dog Rescue's published pages do not address outside voting help, so read the contest's Rules block before committing money to any assistance. Background reading that applies here includes methods for growing support in public online votes, the commercial overview at buying votes for online contests and the legal summary at whether purchased poll votes are lawful.

Whatever route a supporter takes, the tally registered on the Soul Dog Rescue ballot decides the finish at the closing moment.
