American Rescue Dog Show – Who Will Win?

Scruffy doesn’t have the pedigree to strut her stuff at the Westminster Dog Show? Well, maybe she can make it at the American Rescue Dog Show!

That’s right, falling on the heels of the Westminster Dog Show (won by Standard Poodle Siba on Feb 11), this show is just for rescue dogs.

The American Rescue Dog Show airs on Sunday February 16 and Monday February 17 on the Hallmark Channel.

Both mixed breed and purebreed dogs will be featured. And the only qualification? Dogs must be from a rescue or shelter. The dogs compete to earn donations to a rescue organization.

The competition is fierce and funny. Categories include:

• Best in Belly Rubs
• Best in Couch Potato
• Best in Ears
• Best in Senior
• Best in Snoring
• Best in Special Needs
• Best in Talking
• Best in Underbite
• Best in Wiggling
• Best in Wrinkles
