Portland's Next Top Dog Model Contest

They walk on all four's, wag their tales, occasionally bark and will soon be competing to become Portland's Next Top Dog Model. On Wednesday, June 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the Hotel Monaco, 10 large and 10 small dog finalists will compete before a celebrity panel of judges to become Portland's Next Top Dog Model. One small and one large dog will be chosen as Portland's Next Top Dog Model. In its second year, Portland's Next Top Dog Model Contest benefits the Oregon Humane Society and is presented by LexiDog and the Hotel Monaco.

97.1 FM's Dr. Doug and Skippy will emcee the festivities and Portland LumberJax goalie and Community Relations Director Dallas Eliuk will be one of the celebrity judges. A lifelong animal lover and owner of a toy fox terrier, Eliuk will be judging the event for the second consecutive year.

"Dogs are one of the greatest gifts to man and the Humane Society is one of the greatest gifts to dogs," said Eliuk. "It's always an honor to be allowed to work with an organization that gives back to those that give so much to us."

All finalists receive a prize package worth over $100 and winners will each receive a prize pack worth over $750. The winning prize packs include: a year's supply of food, a deluxe photo shoot, grooming spa treatments, massage, teeth cleaning and much more.
