If you're ready for a seriously adorable dog show, you're barking up the right tree! This Saturday, The Bazaar on Apricot & Lime and Satchel’s Last Resort are teaming up for their furry friends with the West-Mutt-ster Dog Show.
This tail-wagging event is free to attend and filled with fun, laughter and plenty of local love. Dog owners are invited to enter their pups in one of three lively categories: Pint Size for the tiny pups with big personalities, Large and In Charge for the gentle giants and Senior Strut for wise and wonderful older friends. Every dog participating in the West-Mutt-ster dog show will also be included in the People’s Choice competition, where attendees can vote for their overall favorite.
Registration is just $10 per dog per category, with 100% of proceeds benefiting Satchel’s Last Resort, a local animal rescue focused on pets with special behavioral or medical needs. Satchel’s offers a second chance for animals that others might turn away.
Participants must register in advance by November 20. Prizes–promised to be good ones–will be awarded in each category. Judges will be looking for personality, obedience, appearance and razzle-dazzle—yes, tricks count! And while costumes aren't required, dressing your pet is highly recommended! Stay tuned for the announcement of celebrity judges. And get ready to meet some adorable adoptable dogs from Satchel’s who will be on-site looking for their forever homes.
“The Bazaar loves offering unique ways to entertain people as well as support nonprofits. Since we are always dog-friendly and we love working with Satchel’s Last Resort, this seemed like a fun idea,” says Kim Livengood, co-owner of The Bazaar on Apricot & Lime. “And we were able to work with our neighbors and vendors to provide awesome prizes so enter your pup(s) today!”
Whether you’re competing or just coming to cheer on the pups, the West-Mutt-ster Dog Show promises to be a barking good time for all!
Saturday, November 22, 11am, The Bazaar on Apricot & Lime, 821 Apricot Ave, Sarasota.
