When you want to really spoil your dog, or just meet other dog owners in California who are as crazy about their pets as you, there’s no better place to bring Fido than a dog event. Attend any of the dog shows, agility competitions, costume parades, festivals or fundraisers in California on our Dog Events Calendar and you’ll meet hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dog lovers. And since 70% of the events listed benefit humane societies, attending one is a great way to help homeless pets too.
World’s Ugliest Dog® Contest
The old saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is exemplified at this event! Enroll your pup for a chance to win any three categories for trophies and cash. While the event is open to all pet parents, only dogs who have registered and are competing can attend. Check the website for the last day to pre-register!
