North Fulton community invited to “show off” their talented pups for a good cause
WHAT: On Sat., March 23 from 2 to 3:30 p.m., dog lovers are invited to Avalon in Alpharetta for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s fourth annual Dog Show Off, a canine “talent show” benefitting Children’s Canines for Kids – a program in which 16 specially trained pups provide comfort, friendship and courage to sick children in need.
From now until 2p.m. on the day of the event, guests can register pooches to show off their scruffy good looks, doggone good obedience and paw-some temperament. Dogs will be categorized as small, medium or large, with prizes being awarded to the best-in-class pup in each category. Canines for Kids is one of Children’s only programs that is solely donor-funded, and guests are encouraged to purchase silver, gold or platinum sponsorship packages ranging from $250 to $1,000 to support the program. Throughout the event, dog enthusiasts will have the opportunity to meet the Canines who visit more than 300 patients each day.
