Is Your Dog Beauti-bull?

Karma

In honor of Adopt-a-Shelter Dog Month, the San Diego Humane Society is planning a month packed with pit-focused activities and incentives during “Dare to Bull-ieve”. We are excited to celebrate the pit bull type dog in our first ever Bully Beauty Contest and you are invited to participate! 20 dogs will named as finalists and featured during a special event on October 6th at our Gaines St Campus (10 dogs) or October 20th at our Oceanside Campus (10 dogs). There the finalists will be invited to participate in a pit bull only beauty pageant. Your dog will strut, perform, and pose for local celebrity judges and community leaders as they look for the Best Human-Animal Bond Story, Most Talented, Most Beautiful, Best Wag, and Best Ambassador (overall winner) in the group. Each of the Top 20 will be rewarded as a finalist and great prizes will be awarded to the winners of each category.
