Brevard's 2nd Annual "Poshest Pet" Contest
Do you think your pet is the best in the county? If so, the Central Brevard Humane Society would like to invite you and your pet to be a part of their 2nd Annual “Brevard’s Poshest Pet” Contest.

Here’s how it works - the individual who raises the most money (minimum of $2,500) in honor of their pet wins! The winning pet of the contest will be featured on the cover of Spacecoast Living Magazine’s July issue, and the top (6) contestants will be included in a pictorial feature in the magazine.

In celebration of the release of the July issue, a private V.I.P. reception will be held on the last weekend in June at a fabulous location in town - where the “big” winner of the contest will be revealed.

Not sure how to raise those funds? Here are some ideas for you to consider inviting your family, friends and neighbors to as a way to raise money:
l Hold a Tournament - Golf, Bingo or Poker
l Host a Party - Spring Fling, Masquerade Ball, Mystery Sleuth Dinner Party or “Yappy” Hour Social

The sky’s the limit on how creative you can be to raise those funds!

All proceeds from the “Brevard’s Poshest Pet” Contest will help the Central Brevard Humane Society raise awareness and financial support for the thousands of unwanted and abandoned pets that visit the shelter each year, who need a safe and loving “forever” home.
