Kids’ Dog Show at Dogapalooza

Kaitlin Seiber and her German Shepherd “Strider” pause during last year’s Dogapalooza, where they won Best of Show in the Kids’ Dog Show.

The ninth annual Dogapalooza – a free event for dogs and the people who love them – will be held this Saturday from 1-4 p.m. at Dogwood Park.

The Kids’ Dog Show is open to ages 16 and under. Registration takes place the day of the event until 2:15 p.m. The contest begins at 2:30 p.m. First, second and third place winners will be selected in these categories: Most Obedient, Best Trick, Loudest Bark, Prettiest Dog and Dog/Owner Look-Alike. First place winners will compete for Best of Show.

Dogapalooza also includes pet-related vendors, an off-leash play area and an adoptable pet parade. For more information, call 520-4386.
