Our July 2025 Calendar Pets, winners of the Pets of the Year Calendar Contest, are Lilah and Cora! Read below to learn why they were nominated as Pets of the Year!
"Lilah and Cora came into our lives two years ago and we have been blessed every day since! They were rescued from a poodle rescue service and we are grateful every day that we found them. The Goldendoodle Sisters were almost three years old at the time, and the rescue society did not want to separate them – they were clearly a bonded pair who loved each other very much and found comfort in one another. This worked well for our family because our 11-year-old granddaughter wanted a dog and so did we – plus, two is
always better than one! Our Golden Girls sleep separately and every morning they rush toward each other like they haven’t seen each other in ages! We nominated our goldendoodles to become calendar girls because they have brought such energy, love, and affection into our lives and even to people they just met. We wanted to share their love with everyone because no love is greater than the bond we have with our animals." - Barbara Metcalf
