Bookmans is taking our love of your dogs to an ELEVEN this year. We’ve always been dog-crazy, but we thought it would be so much fun to highlight some of the very best pooches who accompany their humans to our stores. From big ol’ mutts to dainty teacup showstoppers, Bookmans has a might need to share our store with customers and their dogs. We also love to host and partner with animal rescues and shelters across Arizona to help pets in need find their forever homes. So we came up with a too-cute idea to show off our favorite furballs and support animals in need with the Dogs of Bookmans calendar for 2021!

The Dogs of Bookmans calendar will feature some of our fave pups, but it will also serve a greater purpose. 50% of each calendar’s proceeds upon purchase will go directly to a local animal rescue or shelter! That means that six incredible animal helping organizations will have some additional funds they need to keep their efforts going in 2021 while you enjoy a year of Dogs of Bookmans. And that’s all because of you and your furry bestie! These Barktober calendars are scheduled to be on our shelves in December. That’s just in time for the best holiday gift you can give too!
