The Results Are In: Meet the Animals & Ales 2026 Pet Photo Contest Winners

Posted Mar 20th, 2026 in Featured, News, Stories

Thank you for an incredible Animals & Ales Pet Photo 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 — together, we raised over $102,000 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 winners and runners-up at each participating brewery!
