Sign up for 14th annual Rover Rescue Pet Dog Show

Big, small, purebred or not, your dog could be the next champion of the 14th annual Rover Rescue Pet Dog Show.

This family event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 6, at the Aurora Turners Club at 1335 Mitchell Road in Aurora. Mixed breeds and purebred dogs are all welcome to enter.

Let your wonder dog show off his furry good looks and amazing skills competing in the wide variety of fun show categories. He can challenge the competition in "Bobbin' for Dogs and Sherlock Bones," wow the crowd with his best trick and show off his most adorable features in "Ears to You!"

There are events just for kids, too!

Browse the prizes in the silent auction and the quarter and dollar raffles or show your support with merchandise from the Rover table. Indulge your sweet tooth at the bake sale and try your hand at winning the cash raffle with a first prize of $300.

Many of Rover Rescue's adoptable dogs and puppies will be at the show, wagging their tails and eager to greet you with lots of kisses! All proceeds benefit the homeless dogs, saved from high-kill shelters and fostered in a network of private homes until they find their new homes.
