About
Help us make the WoodRUFF Dog Park a reality! Our Doggy Con fundraising goal is $15,000; your contribution is essential to bring this new amenity to the Downtown Atlanta neighborhood. With your support, we hope to break ground in 2022.
About the event
Join us in paying homage to one of the world’s largest pop culture conventions while competing for drool-worthy prizes—and raising funds to build a WoodRUFF Dog Park! Doggy Con features a pet costume pageant, a vendor village of dog-centric goods and activities, face painting, a green screen photo booth, and plenty of pup culture.
Food vendors include Refuge Coffee, The Cereal Lab, and Mocha Pops.
A registration fee is required for each competing pet, and all proceeds will directly support the construction of a future dog park. Register online for $20 or at the event for $25 (if you simply want to attend as a spectator, registration is free).
This year's pageant will be emceed by local media maven Mara Davis and judged by Atlanta City Councilmember Amir Farokhi, local artist Catlanta aka Rory Hawkins, costume designer and cosplayer Yaya Han, and dog influencer Super Murph the French Bulldog.
Prizes will be awarded in six categories: Best in Show; Best Doggy/Human Dynamic Duo; Best Character Cosplay; Biggest “Aww” Factor; Best Small But Mighty Pup; and Best Big Buddy.
We have amazing prizes from our vendors and partners valued at over $1,000, including a 5-day membership to Dragon Con and gift baskets from The Whole Dog Market.
