In addition to the show, you can explore the amazing array of prizes at the silent auction and the quarter and dollar raffles, browse fun pet-related merchandise at the Rover table, commemorate the day with a professional pet portrait and try your hand at winning the cash raffle with a first prize of $300. Plus, many lovable adoptable dogs and puppies will be at the show, wagging their tails. All proceeds benefit Rover Rescue’s homeless dogs, saved from high-kill shelters and fostered in a network of private homes until they find their “forever” homes.

Each $10 entry includes four categories; each additional category is $1 each before May 15th or $3 each the day of the show. (People are admitted free!) All show entries must be received by May 15th.
