One of Chattanooga’s largest pet-centered community events and the signature fundraiser for McKamey Animal Center, Paw Palooza, is returning for its fifth year this Saturday, June 13th, at Coolidge Park.
Pet lovers all across the Scenic City can unite for a fun, community-oriented day full of dog games, food trucks, vendors, a community fundraising pet walk, animal demonstrations by the Chattanooga Zoo and the Rally and Obedience Club of Calhoun, opportunities to meet and connect with rescue groups, and even live entertainment from local MC Jed Mescon.
This year will also introduce folks to the first ever MAC Best in Show competition, wherein people can show off their beloved pets’ charm and personality in a competition featuring incredible categories, such as “Wiggliest Tail,” “Best Spots,” or “Best Rescue Story.”
There are no tricks, pedigrees, or advanced training required. Though, there is a $20 fee to enter with your pet, or you can raise $20 for the center. Every pet will be celebrated; however, the actual MAC Best in Show title will go to the participant who raises the most funds for McKamey Animal Center. They will also be leading the celebratory fundraising walk…
