Win a Professional Photoshoot and Be Featured in Minnesota Monthly
So, what does your beloved pet win if they are deemed the cutest? The Petfest winner not only earns bragging rights but receives a professional photo shoot and will be featured in the July/August issue of Minnesota Monthly. How many pets do you know who get the chance to do that?
Proceeds Benefit the Masonic Children’s Hospital Service Dog
Proceeds from Petfest’s $20 entry fee will directly benefit the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital’s Nutrisource Facility Dog Program. Rocket Tuffy, the hospital’s full-time service dog, is a two-year-old golden retriever trained to support children and their families alongside his handler Anna Dressel. Rocket is allowed inside patients’ rooms during medical procedures, encourages children to walk after surgery, reduces anxiety, and serves as a calming distraction for the children during their stay in the hospital.
