Raffaldini Vineyards is hosting a competition to select a photograph of a rescue dog for the label of its upcoming wine release, Pino Vino III.

Raffaldini Vineyards is accepting photos of rescue dogs between now and April 30, 2011.  The winning photograph will replace last year’s rescue dog, Paddington, an Old English Sheepdog from Lenoir, NC.  This is the third relase of the wine Pino Vino, and as in the previous two release, a portion of the proceeds of the sale of both Pino Vino III will be donated to local animal shelters.

“Paddington is an ambassador for all of the rescue dogs who were entered in the Pino Vino II wine label contest,” Ray Williams, owner of Paddington, said. “Paddington loves people, enjoyed the attention and served as a wonderful representative for Raffaldini Vineyards’ Pino Vino II. We wish all of the rescue dog entrants the best for Pino Vino III.

Phyllis, a 4 year old Chinese Crested, and her three (8 week old) pups; Dollie, Charlie and Pansy need a good home. 

All four are available for adoption at the Stokes County Animal Shelter
