The Irvine Animal Care Center proudly announces the return of the annual Photo Fundraiser, launching Friday, August 1.

Community members are invited to submit their favorite snapshots of their pet online and encourage family and friends to vote. Proceeds support high-quality care and life-saving programs for animals at the center.

Photo submissions and voting will be open August 1–31. Entries are $25 per photo, and votes are $1 each. Photos that receive at least five votes will be featured in the Irvine Animal Care Center’s 2026 wall calendar, and the top 13 entries will earn a full-page feature. Every participant will receive a complimentary copy of the printed calendar, with additional copies available for purchase online.

The Photo Fundraiser offers a fun and meaningful way for the community to spotlight their pets while supporting the center’s mission. All proceeds directly benefit the center’s Special Programs, including Enhanced Care, Foster Care, and Third Chance for Pets. These critical services provide advanced medical treatment, temporary homes for vulnerable animals, and new opportunities for pets transferred from overcrowded shelters.
