It's Here: The 2026 Wayne Homes Pet Calendar
It’s the most anticipated announcement of the year! At Wayne Homes, we know that a house isn’t truly a home until it’s filled with the unconditional love (and a little bit of playful chaos) of a family pet. Our homeowners have consistently shown us that their furry, scaled, and feathered companions are an integral part of their new-home journey, often being the first to settle into their cozy corners!
That’s why we are absolutely thrilled to unveil the stars of the 2026 Wayne Homes Pet Calendar!
This year, the level of competition and the sheer joy radiating from every submission made our selection process tougher than ever. We were truly overwhelmed by the hundreds of photos of precious pets—from curious kittens to stately dogs and everything in between—that poured in from our incredible community of homeowners. To every single person who shared a piece of their home and their heart with us, thank you. Your submissions are what make this calendar a true celebration of the Wayne Homes family.
A Year of Cuteness: What to Expect
The 2026 calendar is a beautiful tribute to the love between our homeowners and their animals. Each month features not just one, but two amazing Wayne Homes pets! You’ll find a prominent Large Photo Feature, a charming Small Photo Feature, and of course, our stunning Cover Feature.
We’ve packed this year’s edition with even more personality. The best part? Each of our Large Photo Features will be accompanied by a cute, personalized caption that perfectly captures the pet’s spirit and will give you a reason to smile every time you check the date. And don’t forget the back—it’s filled with a full-page collage of additional submitted photos, ensuring even more of our cherished pets get to make an appearance!
Introducing Our Cover Star!
Earning the coveted spot on the cover of the 2026 calendar is a high honor, and this year’s winner truly embodies the spirit of home and happiness. We’re excited to introduce the face of our calendar: Dunkin’! This Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has the sweetest face and is a great companion to Craig Deighan and family. “Four years ago we were in the waitlist from our breeder to get a puppy. We chose Dunkin’ and he is the best companion we could have ever wished for”, Craig shares. Craig built an Oxford Smart Style home in Concord Township, and we know that Dunkin’ is the perfect addition to his home.
