The Las Sendas community boasts a 13-month, charming, furbaby calendar — Las Sendas Pin-Up Pets — designed by two residents, Heather DeBrosse and Dara Fowler.
The first calendar was created in 2019 and is used to garner money for nonprofit animal rescues.
Last year, hundreds of pictures were submitted for consideration to be entered into the calendar. Pictures of pets wearing costumes for Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and birthday party hats were some of the cutest.
Numerous breeds of cats and dogs, plus some not-so-furry pet pictures, were submitted. To the delight of residents, almost every high-resolution picture made it into the calendar.
Dara is an exceptional graphic design artist and creates beautiful pages from the pictures of the pets into a keepsake calendar for all of the Las Sendas community.
The residents of Las Sendas are strongly encouraged to send pictures of their furbabies to Heather. There is no charge for any submission.
Deadline for your furbaby submission is Oct. 15. The calendars will be ready for purchase and pick up in early to mid-November. Pre-orders for calendars start Sept. 15.
Each of the calendars sells for $20. Net proceeds are given to a nonprofit animal rescue. Last year, Valley Dogs Rescue was the recipient of $1,400.
Also, Heather and Dara are seeking local businesses to become sponsors through advertisements. Sponsors help defray the upfront cost of printing, which can cost over $1,000.
All local businesses can contribute through one-eighth, one-quarter, one-half and full-page advertisements. Deadline of submission for advertisement sponsors is Oct. 15.
