2027 Best Pets of Brevard Calendar Contest

The 2027 Best Pets of Brevard Calendar Contest Is Here! Celebrating Pets While Saving Lives

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT

Cocoa, FL — April 20, 2026

The Brevard Humane Society invites pet lovers everywhere to take part in one of our most cherished annual traditions—the 2027 Best Pets of Brevard Calendar Contest. This community‑wide fundraiser celebrates the pets who bring joy to our lives while directly supporting the lifesaving work of Brevard Humane Society and the homeless animals who depend on our care.

Each photo entry helps provide food, shelter, medical care, and second chances for animals in need. When you enter your pet, you are doing more than celebrating them—you are helping another animal find safety and a loving home.


A Community Tradition With a Powerful Impact

The Best Pets of Brevard Calendar is more than a calendar—it is a reflection of the deep bond between people and pets across our community.

Brevard Humane Society receives no county funding and is supported entirely by the generosity of donors, volunteers, local businesses, and fundraising initiatives like this calendar contest. Every photo entry and sponsorship directly supports animals in Brevard County by providing:
  • Safe shelter and daily care
  • Nutritious food
  • Medical treatment and spay/neuter services
  • Adoption, rescue, and rehabilitation support

Small actions—like submitting a photo—create a meaningful impact for animals who need us most.
