Compete in the second annual dog fashion show from MacArthur Center and Norfolk Animal Care and Adoption Center
NORFOLK, VA – Sashay, shantay, sashay, shantay and stay: it’s the second annual Fashion Has Gone to the Dogs competition!
Bark to the left, bark to the right at MacArthur Center, Center Court on Sunday, February 9 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. You and your fashionista furball can participate in three categories: Best Owner/Dog Costume Combination for ADULTS AND KIDS; Best Dog Fashion; and Celebrity Lookalike contest. (Last year, a French poodle entered as both Cleopatra and Elizabeth Taylor! Genius! Or maybe your dog resembles Tina Spay or Queen Elizabark!)
Our panel of local celebrity judges – players from the Norfolk Admirals! -- will award trophies to the grand prize winners in each category.
Every dog should have a chance to work his Fur Steel look. That’s why we invite all canine alumni of the Norfolk Animal Care and Adoption Center to dog-walk the runway!

Participants can make their minimum $5 donation on Eventbrite – or type fashionhasgonetothedogs.eventbrite.com.
