The 2025 Calendar Contest is now Open!!
Each year Pawsitive Match produces a beautiful calendar filled with heartwarming images of our followers’ pets. Our annual contest is a fun way for us to select which of our furry (or in some cases, not so furry) friends to include in the calendar.
All donations, including the entry fee, goes directly to PMRF and the animals in our care. Note that votes are for the animal and not the photo, and the final photos may differ from the ones on this page.
Our goal for the calendar this year is to cover a portion of the cost of our current medical bills which is $15,000.
Tax receipts will be provided for all donations. Please note that we require your mailing address for the CRA in order to provide charitable tax receipts, please provide this information during checkout.

The entry fee is per animal (i.e. 2 dogs in one photo is $20, or 2 photos with 1 dog each is also $20).
Phase 2 – Voting (July 15 – August 31)

01-Rosie & Sophie
Rosie is a little cat with a big personality. Even though she's 9 years old, she is still a kitten. Her favorite thing to do is run down the hall and jump around her cat tree. Sophie is the sweetest of cats. Her purr enters the room a minute before she does. She's a little cross eyed, a little bull legged, and a bit of tumba, but she is 100% cuddle bug.
02-Becky
Becky is a 5-year-old Formosan Mountain Dog originally from Taiwan. We adopted her from a rescue shelter in California in 2019. Since then, she has been adapting wonderfully to the Canadian lifestyle and weather!

07-Squeak
We adopted him in October 2023 and it´s like he has been with us since he was a baby because he is crazy loyal, follows us and loves us like no other. Really smart and fluffy.
08-Lego
This little lady is just happy to be here :) Some of her favourite activities include napping on the couch, tossing a ball up for herself, invading her humans personal space and receiving a good ol’ rub down (especially when there are butt scratches involved). Lego shows her sweetest smile and puppy dog eyes to the humans she loves most - anyone and everyone that she encounters on a walk. But the real way to know she’s happy is to listen for the Lego purr.
09-Winnie
Winnie found her way to me (by way of Pawsitive Match) a year ago and is the best girl! The world is sometimes still a little scary for Winnie but her confidence grows everyday.

Freya's favourite thing to do is lay in the grass in the sun!
25-Mocha
Intelligent and caring! Mocha loves to play with balls and will let us know when it is feeding time as he drops his toys in his food dish!

Doug and Phoebe were both adopted from Pawsitive Match. They love cuddling, suntanning, going to the dog park and their favourite food is literally any food.
