Meet the 12 lucky dogs that will be featured on TRI-BUILT's 2026 calendar. 

Every year, TRI-BUILT hosts a contest looking for the "Top Dogs” of the roofing world. Their team then chooses 12 fetching pups who receive $1,000 to donate to a local rescue of their choice and get featured in the TRI-BUILT annual calendar. Here are this year’s winners that will be gracing a calendar near you!  

January – Tater  

Tater’s human, Zak from Bliss Roofing, shared this with about this adorable dogger, “Tater (as in an Idaho Po-Tater) loves the water, lives for a good game of fetch and has yet to meet a person he couldn’t charm into giving him a belly rub.” 

February – Willa  

As for Willa, she’ll be on your wall in the colder February weeks, which is perfect for this snow-loving pup! Her human is Brennan from CAWC Waterproofing in California.  

March – Maverick

April – Riley  

Nominated by Jackson of Cranford Contractors Inc, Riley is an adventuring and working lab. Jackson shared, “She comes to work with me every day whether it means hanging in the office or going to jobsites with me.” 

May – Oliver

June – Charlie  

This stylish dog is Charlie, and he is ready for anything! His human, Jennifer of Harding Builders Inc, told TRI-BUILT, “He's super athletic and can catch a frisbee like no one's business. He runs fast, jumps high and plays hard. He's a high-performance, action dog.” 

July – Morrison  

We can all hope to be like Morrison this July, chilling on a boat! When he’s not enjoying a cruise, this 14-year-old West Highland Terrier is staying active. Nick and Kendra of Huckle Exteriors Inc, shared some of his adventures, saying, “He loves to go for walks, play ball, pizza night and going for Culvers custard in the truck!” 

August – Jax

In fact, his name holds a special place in their hearts, as Becki explained, “My oldest son named him after our second son, Wyatt Jackson, who passed away December 28, 2024, at the age of 21.” 

September – ESPN  

ESPN lives up to her name with all the puppy excitement! Her human, Spencer from First Out Roofing, sent this note in with her picture: “She was rescued from an abandoned barn in Garland, but now she’s living the highlight reel!

October – Seven  

It might be the tenth month, but Seven is the star of October! Submitted by Viya from ADCO Roofing & Waterproofing, he’s a brave, intelligent and curious Vizsla pup! Viya had this to share about Seven’s story: “He had seven other brothers in his litter all nicknamed after famous western films. Named for ‘The Magnificent Seven,’ he also was nicknamed the ‘escape artist’ by his breeder and the ‘gangster’ by his doggy daycare.” 

November – Maddy 

As for Maddy, this five-year-old Labrador Retriever might not be as rambunctious as some of these pups, but she’s the best coworker you could ask for. Mark of F&F Roofing shared about how she helps around the office, syaing, “She has been coming to work every day since she was a baby. She enjoys sitting in a chair and estimating when she's not causing trouble around the office.” 

December – Banjo  

And last but certainly not least, Banjo will be closing out the 2026 calendar. His human, Jeff of Sexton Roofing & Siding, shared a little about this handsome pup, saying, “Banjo is all drive and heart — a true symbol of the TRI-BUILT spirit. Whether he’s racing through the fields with laser focus or keeping a close eye on the job site, his energy, intelligence and loyalty never quit.”
