2nd Annual Pooch Playoffs
Anna Marie Bolet has always loved pets. So when the opportunity to help K9s For Warriors presented itself, she jumped on it.
“This year has been especially hard for charities. So a group of photographers and I got together and decided to host a competition to find The 1st Coast’s Ulti-Mutt Cutie as a way to help out K9's for Warriors”, Bolet said.
The bracket style competition has been unleashed to begin in February 2023 with 16 pooches competing for exciting prizes from local and national sponsors. Each week, 2 dogs will face off in an online vote. Each week’s winner advances with the goal to be voted the Ulti-mutt Cutie of The 1st Coast! Jacksonville’s winner will move on to a national competition.
Bolet will photograph 16 pooches for a $99 donation to K9s For Warriors. The $99 donation includes a doggie bag of gift items, including a special treat from the photographer herself. “It’s funny. Our pets are such important members of our families yet most of us don’t think to have a professional photo taken of them. The Pooch Playoffs gives everyone a fun way to get a portrait of their pet made, by a professional who knows how to photograph pets, while also supporting Fur Sisters Rescue,” said Bolet.
