Primp your pooch, lace up your sneakers, and get ready to join us for Animal Friends' Mutt Strut and Mighty Mutts Dog Show! Stretch your legs with a 1.5-mile Pooch Promenade led by our hosts Cris Winter from Wish 99.7, Steeler, Brett Kiesel, and KDKA's Dave Crawley! Then, shop at our Vendor Village, make a love connection at our Meet Your Match adoption area, say "Cheese!" at the Pup-parazzi booth, or try your dog's paw at the Mighty Mutts Dog Show. Families with children are welcome!
Does your dog have what it takes to win "Best in Show" at our first ever Mutt Strut Mighty Mutts Dog Show? This amateur dog show gives all breeds, both mixed and pure, the opportunity to strut their stuff in front of a celebrity panel of judges. Westminster Kennel Club's got nothing on us as clever collies and gifted greyhounds vie to win, place, and show in categories including "Best Kisser," "Mutt-liest Mutt," and "Most Stylin Senior." Join our first ever Mighty Mutts Dog Show!
In addition to winning some great prizes, our Best in Show winner will be invited to next year's Mutt Strut as our lead walker, and their likeness will be used in the 2009 Mutt Strut's promotional materials!
