Salt Lake County Animal Shelter
NO KILL Initiative
Friends for Animal Care and Effective Solutions (Utah FACES), is launching a new fundraiser to support the Salt Lake County Animal Shelter NO KILL initiative.
“We are inviting pet owners in the community to submit their favorite photos of their pets” said FACES Board Chairperson, Dr. Kay Brown. “Local celebrity judges will determine the top thirteen photos, including the lucky companion animal that will be featured in the highly-coveted cover photo. Twelve others will be selected as “Pets of the Month.”
The first 700 photos submitted are guaranteed to be included in the calendar.
Celebrity Judges for the 2011 Calendar:
· Kurt Bestor, composer, musician and performer
· Frankie Corrigan, 97.1 ZHT radio personality
· Tom Goldsmith, pastor at First Unitarian Church
· Alexis Butler, owner of The Dog’s Meow
· Karen Okabe, former deputy mayor of Salt Lake County
· Holly Sizemore, executive director of No More Homeless Pets
in Utah
· Pete Ashdown, CEO of XMission
· Holly Mullen, freelance writer
· Bill Gephardt, consumer reporter at KUTV Channel 2 news
“County Animal Services has made tremendous headway in eliminating unnecessary euthanasia in the shelter and proving that the outlook for lost and abandoned pets can be very good with the right programs and dedicated staff,” says Director Shawni Larrabee. “The support from the community, including Utah FACES is critical to our efforts and we are very excited about the 2011 calendar project.”
A reception for the celebrity judges and the public will be held on Friday, June 18 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Salt Lake County Animal Services, 511 West 3900 South.
The event will include a tour of the animal shelter and updates on the advances the shelter has made in enhancing animal adoptions and rescues. An important goal of the shelter is to become one of the few municipal shelters in the nation to become a no-kill facility for all adoptable animals. All proceeds raised by Utah FACES will go to support this goal.
Entries for the 2011 Utah FACES calendar are being accepted online now at www.UtahFACES.org. The entry fee is only $10 per photo.
