A new calendar has combined two of the most swoon-inducing subjects known to womankind - shirtless heroes and baby animals.
Charleston Animal Society released the calendar in association with The Fire Department of Charleston, South Carolina, to benefit its Toby's Fund, which treats injured, abused and abandoned animals.
The visual feast, according to the charity, stars 15 of the area’s 'bravest animal-loving firefighters' cradling an array of rescue dogs, puppies and kittens.

Almost unmanageable: A new calendar has taken two of the most swoon-inducing subjects known to womankind - shirtless heroes and baby animals - and mashed them together into a visual feast
'Toby’s Fund provides $500,000 in medicine, treatment and recovery therapy to animals who are brought to us homeless, abused and neglected', the charity states.
It's the second consecutive year CAS has released its Firefighter Calendar, following an enormously successful run in 2014.
Last year's effort raised more than $100,000 for Toby's Fund, which is named after one of the charity's first rescue cases.

Puppy love: Whose eyes are more enchanting here? It's hard to say
'Toby came to CAS with severe chemical burns, but was rehabilitated and later adopted by a loving family,' says Caroline Eller, the organization's director of development.
'That's our goal for every animal who comes through our doors.'
Of the driving concept behind the calendar, Ms Eller states: 'We rescue animals, firefighters rescue humans, it was a natural fit.'

Tanksome: Some firefighters are topless, others aren't, but bulging biceps appear in every shot
Model looks: It seems inconceivable that one firefighters unit could include quite so many genetic lottery winners, but the proof is plain to see
A good year beckons: One hunk and one pup for every month of 2015
Winning smiles: Here's hoping this year's calendar will draw in a wealth of donations for Toby's Fund
Where is the baby animal? This shot seems to missing a very key component
That's all folks: All the stars of the delightful calendar amass to bid us farewell
