For the 3rd year, Karen Schroeder of Karen Schroeder Photography in Manhattan is hosting her Pooch Playoffs Competition to benefit Prairie Paws Animal Shelter.

This competition, which will take place on February 24th, 25th, and March 2nd at Schroeder’s Studio on Claflin Rd., is a fun event for a great cause.

Voting for the furry stars will begin on March 19th, until only one pooch is crowned the Ulti-Mutt Cutie! and moves on to a national competition.

Schroeder says that this fundraiser would not be possible without this year’s amazing sponsors: Candlewood Veterinary Clinic, Commerce Bank, The Pathfinder, Sir Speedy, Theresa’s Sweets and Treats, and Woofs Play and Stay.
