Evanston, Ill. – With the New Year right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about choosing a calendar for 2009. Evanston pet photographer David Sutton unveils Sutton Studios’ seventh annual Dog Days Calendar to benefit animals in need. Here’s a way for you to adorn your wall with artful photography and make a difference to a needy animal at the same time. Sutton Studios provides the Dog Days Calendars at no cost to shelters and animal welfare organizations throughout the greater Chicago area. The agencies in turn sell the calendar and use the proceeds to support their mission to care for homeless and abused animals.
