On behalf of the Portage Park District Foundation and the Madonio Family Animal Welfare Trust, THANK YOU for your generous support and enthusiasm for the PERFECT POOCH OF PORTAGE contest. We so enjoyed watching the competition and following all the dogs. We can, without a doubt, attest to the fact that all the dogs entered in the contest are PERFECT POOCHES! We will be in contact with the owners of the winning dogs to coordinate prizes and photos.

We're having a POOCH PARTYPALOOZA (open to the public and to the pooches) on May 11, 2019 from Noon to 2:00 p.m. at Towner's Woods. Contestant owners will get a complimentary beer/beverage and some other free give-aways. So we hope that the pooches, pooch parents, and pooch patrons will join us for a little celebration. All proceeds from the party will be equally shared with the Portage Park District Foundation and the Madonio Family Animal Welfare Trust.

We want to thank our brew sponsor—Thirsty Dog Brewing Company--for their generous donations and support. We also want to thank our other sponsors: Treno Ristorante, Portage Community Bank, Brimfield Insurance Group, and Nelson and Suzanne Burns.

The dollars raised through this campaign will be dedicated to a trail development fund for the Portage Park District Foundation and to support animal welfare for the Madonio Family Animal Welfare Trust.

Through your awesome participation, we have proven that Portage County does indeed hold the record for having the PERFECT POOCHES in the entire universe.
