Tampa Bay’s best pups will be at Green Bench Brewing next Thursday for the third annual Webbsminster Dog Show.

Mike Tony—songwriter, and drummer for homegrown instrumental band Soft Cuff and DJ Jayda Abello host this event benefiting New Port Richey’s Runaways Animal Rescue.

Pups will compete for fur-st place in categories including: Pint-Sized, Large & In Charge, Senior Strut and Best Dressed. Prizes for Best in Show and People’s Choice will also be awarded.

The Best Dressed category is still open for stylish pups to enter.

Tampa Bay’s best vegan hot dog pop-up Nah Dogs will be slinging glizzies.

There’s no cover for well-behaved people and leashed pups to spectate the Webbsminster Dog Show on Thursday, Aug. 28 in St. Petersburg.
