Below are the winners of the "King & Queen" contest at Dogtoberfest 2012.  Combined, these two dogs' owners raised nearly $6,000 to help animals at Suncoast Animal League.  Their dogs were crowned King Hans & Queen Ava of Dogtoberfest and are featured on all marketing materials for the 6th Annual Dogtoberfest in 2013. 

Congratulations to our reigning King & Queen of Dogtoberfest 2012, and thank you to everyone who participated in the King & Queen pledge drive.  Overall, the King & Queen Pledge Drive raised more than $11,000 to help abused, neglected and unwanted animals.   

One of the prizes for the King & Queen is a free photo shoot.  Check out some of the pictures taken during the photo shoot for King Hans and Queen Ava.
