The Seattle Kraken have captured sweet pet memories in a 2023-24 12" x 12" calendar featuring the players posing with both their pet dogs and adoptable canines from Dog Gone Seattle. The foster-based rescue organization worked with the Kraken to create 12 months of photos, a release said.
The calendar looks to promote awareness of adoptable dogs. The net proceeds from calendar sales will go to Dog Gone Seattle and One Roof Foundation, a philanthropic arm of the Kraken.
"Supporting animal rescues is so important to players because they see first-hand how owning pets helps their mental health," said Devin Donskoi, part of the Seattle Kraken Better Half — which helped organize the dog calendar — and wife of Seattle Kraken forward Joonas Donskoi, via People. "A few dogs on our team are service animals, and they provide emotional support for the players and their families during such a long 82-game season filled with highs and lows. Players see the emotional value pets provide and enjoy finding ways to help other families adopt these lovable pets."
To see the "cute chaos," you can still purchase the calendar online.
