RESERVE-A-CALENDAR DAY

Our partner site (where we host our pet photo contest for Prom) helps us raise funds by also collecting "reserve-a-calendar day" pet photos to be used in our annual calendar.  This is completely separate from the photo contest - it's just the same website. 

​What exactly is a calendar day reservation?
Would you like to honor your pet by featuring their photo on a special day in our annual Shiba Prom calendar? Of course you would!  A special day represents an important event in your pet's life...such as a birthday, got'cha day or favorite holiday.  You can also reserve a day to honor a Rainbow Bridge loved one or a special fren. 

By reserving the day, only YOUR pet can be featured on that day in our annual calendar.  

CLICK HERE to view our 2025 calendar to see examples of reserved days 

NEW FOR 2026!! We will add an emoji to reservations for the below special days:
  • Rainbow Bridge = 🌈
  • Birthday = 🎁
  • Got'cha Day = 🐾​

**Our 2026 calendar will be available to purchase on Black Friday but early reservations are encouraged - especially for popular holidays like Valentine's Day, Christmas & Halloween. Days are awarded on a first come, first served basis.**

CLICK HERE FOR FULL DETAILS & TO RESERVE-A-CALENDAR DAY FOR 2026

If you would like to make a 1-time or reoccuring CASH donation, we are forever grateful for your love & kindness.  We accept donations via PayPal.  Because we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, your donation is tax deductible.
Shiba Prom members of the Board are not eligible to win prizes from the organization's fundraising events, but they may donate. Shiba Prom volunteers who are not Board members are permitted to participate in the organization's fundraising events unless otherwise restricted. ​
