WANTED: Handsome old fellows and beautiful old girls for the Sanctuary's sixth annual photo contest for Graying Muzzles 2009:

Don't miss out. Enter your favorite senior dog (7+ years) in our photo contest to benefit the Sanctuary for Senior Dogs. The winners will be featured in the sixth annual Sanctuary calendar. Each winning dog will receive a calendar and be invited to “pawtograph” calendars at a fall Sanctuary event.

Send an original 4”x6” or 5”x7” photo of your old friend with a $10 entry fee postmarked no later than September 1, 2008 to The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs, PO Box 609054, Cleveland, OH 44109.

You may enter as many times as you like, but each entry must be accompanied by a $10 entry fee and a separate entry form.

Photos will be judged by an impartial panel; the decision of the judges is final. Photos will not be returned and all become the property of the Sanctuary for Senior Dogs and may be used in its literature and on its web site.

The contest is open to all senior dogs (7 and older only, please), including those who have already crossed the Rainbow Bridge. For more information, call 216-485-9233 or e-mail seniordogs@aol.com.
