Pet Calendar Fundraiser History

The annual Pet Calendar Fundraiser with Freeland Photography started back in 2013. Now in our 13th year, hundreds of pets have competed to raise funds for Cascades Humane Society and the homeless animals in our care. We love seeing all of your pets, and are so incredibly grateful for your participation and support of Cascades Humane Society.

About the Photographer: Carrie Stadelman of Freeland Photography, is a master photographer and certified professional photographer. She specializes in Artistic Portraiture and Creative Business Imagery to improve your brand’s presence.

As an animal lover herself, she dedicates her time and talent each year to ensure Cascades Humane Society’s Pet Calendar Fundraiser is a success. In fact, it is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year!
