The Results Are In: Meet the Animals & Ales Pet Photo Contest Winners

Posted Mar 19th, 2025 in Featured, News, Stories

Thank you for an incredible Animals & Ales Contest!

The Animals & Ales Pet Photo Contest (Canada & U.S.) has officially come to a close, and what an incredible journey it has been! Thanks to all of you—our amazing participants, voters, and supporters—we raised over $170,000 to provide critical veterinary care for animals in need. That means even more funding and programs for spay/neuters, vaccinations, disease detection training, animal care training, and so much more.

Every single pet entered in this contest helped make a difference, and we are beyond grateful for your enthusiasm, generosity, and love for animals. Now, it's time to celebrate our top winners!

For several years, Rebecca has worked alongside farmers and VETS volunteers to strengthen dairy practices, improve animal health, and support more resilient rural livelihoods.
