2015 Event Guide

Pet Photo Contest:
The Pet Project helps to keep pets and their caregivers together by providing pet food and pet supplies to
food shelves. They offer quarterly low-cost vaccination
clinics and provide information about other programs
that provide reduced-cost veterinary care.
Enter the Pet Photo contest when you get
your pet’s photo taken at Keller Williams The Odd Couple Team (1460 Grand Ave)! A
professional photographer will snap a pic of
your pet for a suggested donation to
No Dog Left Behind. The top 5 pet photos
will be posted on the Paws on Grand
Facebook page on Monday, August 3rd and
you can vote on your favorite pet to win
great prizes from Grand Avenue Businesses!
