Cutest Canine Contest to Support Nonprofit Dog Rescue Groups

Dog lovers unite! United Insurance Agencies & Affordable Auto Insurance, an independent Property & Casualty Insurance Agency headquartered in Omaha, NE, is holding a “Cutest Canine Contest” to benefit local non-profit dog rescue groups.

Local independent insurance agent Connie Rivera is unabashedly crazy for dogs. When she’s not busy shopping for home, auto, and commercial insurance rates for her customers, she’s on the phone looking for homes for unwanted or abandoned dogs. Working with such local area non-profits such as Wag N Train Terrier Rescue, Ms. Rivera recognizes the financial challenges such as the cost of vaccinations, grooming, and other services provided while searching for foster families.

In partnership with American Strategic Insurance Company, Connie and her partners at United Insurance Agencies & Affordable Auto Insurance decided to give a little something back to the help the dogs they all love so much. The contest, which runs throughout the month of May, is open to all interested dog lovers in the Metro area. Contestants can submit photos of their canine friends to the agency Facebook page: www.facebook.com/uiagencies/, where voters will be able to like their favorite picture through June 15th. The two photographs that receive the most likes will get to decide which Nebraska or Iowa non-profits will win the grand prizes of $1000 and $500 to the first and second place photographs. Local Omaha area businesses including Long Dog Fat Cat, Nature Dog, Clovis & Company, Le Peep, and Skyybox Bar & Grill will also be donating prizes for the top five dogs.
