Funds raised through each vote placed for your favorite animal will help the ECCHA take care of more than 2,500 neglected animals in the county.
The first three prize winners will be awarded a spot in the 12-month Pet Photo Contest Calendar, as well as receive prizes with ECCHA and other local doggy business merchandise. To submit your photo entry for the contest, visit www.gogophotocontest.com/eccha. You can also vote for your favorite animals at that link by donating $1 per vote.
