Description

Ready to turn your pet into a local legend?
The Paws on the Pavilion Contest is your chance to celebrate the four-legged friend who stole your heart while supporting our lifesaving mission.

Here’s how it works:
Community members (like you!) can enter their pet into the campaign with a $250 entry donation. Once entered, your pet starts the race with 250 votes already in their treat jar. Each entry will receive a commemorative, customizable brick on the expanded Greenville Humane Society campus. After submitting your pet, our registration platform will prompt you to set up your own personal fundraiser with a shareable link. 

Once entered, the fun begins! Share your pet’s photo and fundraising link far and wide — friends, family, coworkers, and fellow pet lovers can cast votes online. Every $1= 1 vote, and every vote helps fund the future of compassionate care in our community. Rally your network, unleash the group chats, and let the tail-wagging competition begin!

This is a lasting tribute that will welcome visitors for years to come, all while supporting pets in need.

The pet with the most votes at the end of the campaign will win the ultimate prize:

A private professional photo shoot with the GHS photographer
A larger-than-life feature photo displayed at the brand-new Greenville Humane Society Community Pavilion
 

Whether your pet is a zoomie champion, a professional napper, or simply the world’s best sidekick, this is their moment to shine.

For those honoring a beloved pet who has crossed the rainbow bridge, you are absolutely welcome here. Our team can work with almost any quality photo to ensure it looks beautiful when displayed at the Pavilion, allowing their legacy to live on in a truly meaningful way.

Every entry, every vote, and every shared photo helps build a brighter future for pets in our community. It’s more than a contest — it’s a celebration of the unconditional love pets give us every single day.

Contest FAQ's

Why does my $250 contest donation not show in my Fundraiser total? 

Rest assured your $250 donation will be added to your Fundraiser total to determine our winning pet!  Each participant's entrance donation will be totaled along with their raised funds prior to announcing our winner. 

Do I have to set up a Fundraiser for my pet to be considered? 

Yes.  All pets will start with 250 votes.  In order to outpace the competition a Fundraiser is recommended.  Share far and wide!  Remember each $1 donated to your Fundraiser is 1 more vote for your pet! 

Are all animals welcomed to join the contest? 

Yes!  All furry, feathered, scaly, loved pets are welcome to enter!

Do I have to live in Greenville, South Carolina to participate? 

No!  We welcome all loved pets from anywhere on the globe! 

Does my pet have to be a GHS alumni to be entered? 

No. We want to see all the pets!
