HOW IT WORKS:

If your pup’s looks are a little “ruff”, you can submit them online (link in bio), at $5 per entry ($10 day-of), for one of 4 categories: Ugliest Dog, Best Costume, Best in Show, or Doggelganger.

Dogtestant photos for Ugliest Dog will be on display at our Red River location from October 17th-30th. You can vote for your favorites at the register for $2 a pop.

On Sunday, October 30th, join us at Jo’s Red River from 12 – 3 PM to see the finalists in person, put in those last-minute votes and enjoy a parking lot party full of adoptable pups, local vendors, live music, hot dogs, face-painting, and balloon animals.

And don’t forget, the pawsitively best part about all of this is that all funds raised from entries and votes go straight to our friends at @austin_humane!

For questions or information on vending opportunities, please reach out directly to the AHS Events Team at events@austinhumanesociety.org or 512-685-0118. To all the #UglyDogs out there, you’re a special canine snowflake and we love you just as you are. Best of luck!
