Dogs are getting ready to strut their stuff this weekend, and it’s all for a great cause! Pups will be on the runway at Kiki on the River for a day of fashion, fur, fun and a little friendly competition, and part of the proceeds will help dogs in need!
Who let the dogs out? These pups are getting camera-ready with a little help from Barks & Bubbles in Midtown.
Vanessa Menkes: “This is the perfect place to come bring your dog to get groomed, to get their nails trimmed, to get their hair washed, and we also carry a variety of outfits so if you want to select an outfit for a fashion show, this is the perfect place.”
They’re prepping for Paws & Pose: The Fashion Paw-ty, a brunch and doggie runway show taking over Kiki on the River.
Caroline McDonald: “Paws & Pose: Fashion Paw-ty, I was inspired by International Dog Day. I believe Miami is very centered around their animals. We make them feel as family, and I think it was very creative to come up with an event that really just showcases the love for dogs.”
Yes, furreal!
Up to 25 pups will compete this Saturday.
Guest: “I am honestly so honored and excited to be able to participate in something with my little fur baby, see him in the spotlight and dress him up!”
But this paw-ty is about more than just fashion.
Twenty-five percent of every Paw-ty pass sold goes to a local dog rescue, helping dogs in need while they celebrate the ones in the spotlight.
Aren’t they just picture paw-fect?!
Caroline McDonald: “We’re having a portrait artist do personal portraits for everybody and their dogs, we’re having a photobooth that is gonna be absolutely amazing for picture moments. We’re having celebrity judges to select the final three contestants of the show. It’s gonna be amazing.”
