These hunky fellows were chosen for Tals of NYC RescueMen calendar and it looks like the calendar turned out incredible. Not only are the guys showing off their best pose, but the pups are too! This is such an innovative way to promote pet adoption and it's super adorable too!
It was hard work, picking the models for this year's Tails of NYC RescueMen calendar — which features 12 fetching Big Apple animal lovers posing with their real-life pets.
Proceeds from the Tails of NYC RescueMen 2016 calendar will benefit critters who haven't made it out yet.

The calendar is a project of Pillows for Paws, a 501(c)(3) founded by Halpern that donates bedding, toys and other goods to make life more comfy for New York pets who are still in the shelter.
Since the calendar — which you can preorder here — will no doubt just pique your interest in so many different ways, stay tuned: Greenfield and Halpern tell us they're currently knocking around the idea of auctioning off a dream playdate.
It'll be with one of their models. And his dog.
We're glad that Huffington Post chose a feature on this organization who put together the calendar. It reminds us to come up with creative ways to promote pet adoption because there are so many pets in need of a wonderful home!
Never give up hope on finding rescue doggies a good home — with organizations like this anything is possible!
