Saturday May 8 - The third annual Delta Dog Dayz event, to be held at the Delta Trust & Bank Hillcrest branch at 2924 Kavanaugh promises to be more fun than ever!
For the first time, the event is going to include a 1-mile "Mutt Strutt" through the streets of Hillcrest. Bring your pet and join the parade of animals walking for a good cause, the Humane Society of Pulaski County.
After the "Mutt Strutt," dogs and their owners can compete in a Dog Show with several categories including "Best Trick," "Best Dressed," "Looks Most Like Owner," "Best Coat," "Smallest," "Largest," and "Mr./Miss Congeniality." There will also be a special Judges Award for the best behaved dog! The contest will be judged by a panel of celebrity judges. We will need a few volunteers to sell merchandise, show off adoptables, and answer questions. This event has been great fun, and very profitable for us.
