Unspoken Art, a photo & video company owned by Kyle & Shannon Fossé, has teamed up with Middleburgh Winery to fundraise for the Saratoga County Animal Shelter—through an event called POOCH PLAYOFFS.
Owners brought their dogs out to the Middleburgh Winery this past weekend to have their dog’s portrait taken, with their $99 session fee being entirely donated to the shelter. Unspoken Art has raised $3,000 total so far, including round one of POOCH PLAYOFFS held at Colonie Center earlier this year.
“We have deeply appreciated the support of local businesses in this fundraising endeavor, including our newest sponsors Steve Meyers Construction and Locomotions Bar & Grill! Many businesses have donated goods that we have been able to gift to the dog’s owners in swag bags. And we’ve been delighted by the enthusiasm of the dog owners who have participated! We’ve met some excellent people and created some beautiful art pieces with them. It’s been truly good for the soul to see everyone’s willingness to give of themselves for POOCH PLAYOFFS,” says Shannon Fossé.
Unspoken Art still has space for two more dogs in POOCH PLAYOFFS! Email Shannon at shannon@unspokenartmedia.com to enter.
