We are honored and excited to let you all know that Talent Hounds has recently been announced as a finalist for Pet Video of the Year for the third year in a row in the prestigious BlogPaws Awards in the US. BlogPaws is the first and original professional association and conference designed by and for pet bloggers and social media influencers (now owned by pet retail giants Chewy.com/PetSmart).
Designed to honour the best of the best in the pet blogging and pet social media influencer world, 52 finalists in 13 categories have been selected by a panel of industry professionals.
Along with 3 other amazingly talented Influencers, Talent Hounds was selected as a finalist for the Best Pet Video Category for the PSA for Rescue Dogs “Forever” below. Please watch, share and subscribe to help (it’s a truly beautiful song and the dogs in the video will make your heart sing).
There are estimated to be more than 98 million pet dogs in North America. For more and more people, especially millennials, dogs are family.
#RescuesRock Forever
Each year 6 million or more dogs go into rescue and many never come out so four years ago, we started the #RescuesRock program showing that Rescues can make wonderful pets. This year’s video “Forever” pays tribute to the love of a dog and raises money and awareness for rescue dogs, inspired by Susan’s Kilo the Pug.
See more about the song and inspiration here.

The Awards Show
We won Best Pet Video of the Year last year with the Talent Hounds anti-discrimination video “Love like a Dog” which I really love.
We were also a finalist in 2016 with the pilot of the Millennial comedy “The Backseat Barkers”.
The 13 winners this year will be selected by judges based on creativity, expertise and performance in their respective categories. Winners will be revealed in an exclusive red-carpet ceremony at the ninth annual pet-friendly BlogPaws Conference (http://www.blogpaws.com) which will be taking place April 18 through April 20 in Kansas City, Missouri at the Sheraton Kansas City.
