4 The Pets

Here’s how to enter

1. Submit your donation, see previous post for the options – Eventbrite, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, and cash or check.
2. Upload your photo on our 2020 pet photo contest page – be sure to downsize your photo to 2MB or less – there’s a link to do that, if you need assistance let us know and we will do our best to help you, there’s also rules and info for your review. It’s loading EASIER when it’s 1MB or less to the website, it will load faster and not bog down the webpage.
3. Voting opens on 10/21/2020, photos will be released here on the website and you will be able to share your photos! I will also post links and photos on the Facebook page for people to share from there as well, so feel free to invite friends to the event on Facebook.
4. After the contest ends, the Shelbyville/Shelby County Animal Shelter staff will also choose one photo for Shelter’s Choice and all prizes will be awarded! Even if you don’t live in Shelbyville or Shelby County you can still enter! We will mail your prize to you!

Thank you to all who made appointments and came out for the pet photo opp! It was great fun to capture the photos of the pets at Sunset Park this last weekend! The donations total was over $300! We will be emailing your photos to you this week for your review and perhaps there will be one you can enter in the upcoming Pet Photo Contest!

This year we will be doing an online photo contest to help support the pets at the Shelbyville/Shelby County Animal Shelter. For the last 5 years we have been doing the Pet Costume Contest and the Zombie Run, but due to the current situation in our world we decided it would be best to postpone those events for now. However, that being said we are EXCITED to hold an online photo contest as well as some other goodies to go along with it. Details to be released shortly!!

Who Let the Creatures Out Pet Costume Contest this Friday! We are looking forward to seeing you at the costume contest! The contest will be held at First Friday downtown Shelbyville at 151 W Washington Street ( Farmer’s Market Parking Lot). Registration starts at 6 pm and the event begins at 6:30 pm. Please visit the event page or find us on Facebook for more info. In the event of bad weather the event will be moved to an indoor location, find us on Facebook for the latest details and information under 4thepets.org

We are super excited about the upcoming events for October!  We hope you will join us this year at the Who Let the Creatures Out Pet Costume Contest and the Run From Zombies 5K Fun Run this year!  Please see the respective pages for more details!

We have had a wonderful time planning events for this year and we are already half way through the year! We are super stoked about the upcoming events for this year which include the Shelby County Fair, the Get Healthy Shelby County Dog Walk, the 5th Annual Who let the Creatures Out Pet Costume Contest and the 5th Annual Zombie Run! Plus we will be having another Paint Your Pet Class and Photos with Santa! All that to come before the end of the year! Plus I know the shelter will be having a party sometime soon and the annual Haunted Trails of course!

We look forward to seeing you at these events and more!!

If you wish to donate to the pets at the Shelbyville/Shelby County Animal Shelter and most recently for Justice, the dog who was found injured and burned out on a county road you can either mail a check directly to the Shelbyville/Shelby County Animal Shelter at 705 Hale Road, Shelbyville, IN 46176 (Please make checks out to the City of Shelbyville and note on the check Justice4Justice) or you can use the link below if you prefer online. The link is for PayPal and 4thepets.org will write a check especially for the care of Justice.

Thank you to Everyone that attended either the Who Let the Creatures Out Pet Costume Contest or the Run From Zombies 5K Fun Run!

The funds were turned over the Shelbyville/Shelby County Animal Shelter today and we raised over $1600 from both events!  We are very excited with the results and really appreciate everyone’s help along with the community support from individuals as well as businesses.

We look forward to next year!

Unless it’s pouring at 6 pm we will move to inside – Blue River Printing on East Washington Street – otherwise we will be in front of City Hall on West Washington downtown Shelbyville.  We will see you there soon!!
