Welcome to the 3rd Annual City of Shasta Lake Pet Mayor Contest. This project brings together civic engagement and fundraising to make a fun interactive way to support our community.
We don’t have any products to show here right now.
How will you get Votes for your Pet?
Voting will open on February 5th and close on February 28th.
Since this is a fundraiser, voters will cast their vote with a donation, every $1 is equal to 1 vote. Individuals can vote multiple times for the same pet or can vote for multiple pets if they would like.
After voting is closed we will tally the donations and the pet with the most donations will be elected the Pet Mayor of the City of Shasta Lake.
Meet the Previous Pet Mayors!
You're support in this annual tradition supports our community. Every dollar raised goes back into the Shasta Lake Community to help us create great events and more.
