Pooch Playoffs to be held at Colonie Center

COLONIE, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Unspoken Arts, a photo and video company owned by Kyle and Shannon Fossé, teamed up with Colonie Center Mall for a fundraiser to benefit Saratoga County Animal Shelter. The fundraiser, named Pooch Playoffs, will be held from February 16 to 18 and February 24 to 25.

Pooch Playoffs is a dog portrait competition with bracket-style voting for the chance to win prizes from local businesses and artists. Each week, two dogs face off in online voting, and the winner advances to the next round with the goal of being voted the cutest dog in the Capital Region.

Fossé will photograph up to 64 dogs at Colonie Center for a donation of $99 going toward the Saratoga County Animal Shelter. The donation gives you the dog portrait session, a photo gift, and a bag of goods from the community.

“It’s funny; our dogs are such an important piece of our families--yet most of us don’t have professional photos of them! Pooch Playoffs gives everyone a fun way to get a portrait of their pet made, by a professional who knows how to photograph dogs, while also supporting the Saratoga County Animal Shelter,” said Fossé.

Contact Unspoken Art for photo and video opportunities before February 14. Those interested in sponsoring the event can also contact Unspoken Art.
