Race classes are Chihuahua and Mestizo. Prizes for winners and placers in categories of costume, racing, and money raising (best prizes are for money raising so you don’t have to be fast to win).
 Registration 10:00 – 12:30,… dog costume contest 12:30 – 1:00,…. dog races begin at 1:00PM; music by Dr. Fun, BBQ sandwiches, hot dogs, etc. Be there, no excuses; if your dog doesn’t race, the other dogs will say your dog is chicken.

Meet Bandit! Bandit was adopted from the Alpine Shelter in 2005 and has been living in Marfa. His owner died last year and neighbors were taking care of him in his backyard but thankfully now he is in the shelter so he can find a proper home. Bandit is male, at least 12 years old, and has always lived outside, but his forays into indoor living have been quite successful. Bandit gets exerted easily so he needs a low activity home. He’s ridiculously cute, is very friendly with people, likes both dogs and cats, has great leash skills, gets really excited about wet food, and doesn’t bark. Irresistible, right? For more information about Bandit or any animal in the Alpine Shelter, please email heatherthemule@gmail.com
