“My Furry Valentine” Photo Contest

Valentines Day is right around the corner. True love in our world involves our beloved pets. We go out and purchase a new Valentine toy and maybe prepare a special treat. All to let them know it is their special day. Here is a chance for you to write your love story and tell the world just how much you love your companion.

ASPCA is thrilled to announce the launch of the 2011 “My Furry Valentine” Photo Contest in honor of all of your puppy (kitty, fish, bird) loves. In 100 words or less share your love story about the first time you laid eyes on each other, or how they are and always will be the love of your life, or how they melt your heart. Send the story along with your best photo of that special furry, finned or feathered someone—the one who opens your heart not just on February 14, but every single day of the year.

Submit your photo and story
