Is your pup entered? As we count down to race day, we want to celebrate the real stars of the show - your beloved canines!
We're calling on all participants to showcase their racing superstars by sending us their most adorable photos and bios!
Here's how you can get involved!
Snap a photo. Capture your corgis and mutts in action, whether they're practicing their racing skills or just lounging around looking adorable. We want to see them at their best!
Write a bio. In 2-4 sentences, tell us all about your pup - their favorite treats, quirky habits, and what makes them the ultimate champion in your eyes.
Send us an email! Once you have your pawfect picture and bio, email them both to our Marketing Coordinator, Kayla, at khahn@caswyo.org. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, April 28th, so don't delay!
Spread the word! Encourage your fellow participants to join in on the fun!
When we receive your submission, your pup's story and photo will be specially featured on our social media channels leading up to the big day. Get ready for your furry friend to become a star, and don't forget to include their name so we can give them the recognition they deserve.
Thank you for being part of this amazing event and for supporting the pets and programs here at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter. We can't wait to see you and your furry friends there!
