Noah’s Ark Animal Welfare Association Dinky Doggie Derby

Calling all tiny, mighty, dinky dogs! Your day to show the world what you got is coming up on August 31st at our Dinky Doggie Derby!

What is the Dinky Doggie Derby? It’s a dash to the finish line… it’s the chance to run faster to your owner than any other dog… it’s the chance to win a trophy bigger than you! So tiny mighty dog, tell your people you are ready – tell them you want to win – tell them to enter you into the derby!

The Dinky Doggie Derby is happening at our Paws In The Park event on Saturday August 31st at Cimino Park in Trinidad, CO!

10:00 am is registration & weigh-in
11:00 am the derby will begin
$5 entry fee – all proceeds benefit Noah’s Ark Animal Welfare Association, a 501c3 nonprofit animal shelter. Registration forms can be picked up in advance at our Noah’s Ark Thrift Store.

Four classes of entry for dinky doggies:
•Featherweight: 10 pounds & under
•Middleweight: 10 to 15 pounds
•Heavyweight: 15 to 20 pounds
•Sumoweight: 20 to 25 pounds

Fine print details: $5 entry fee per dog. All dinky dogs must have two handlers: one to hold them at the start line and one handler waiting at the finish line. The dinky dog in each class who crosses the finish line fastest wins first place for the class; second and third place will also be awarded in each class. Handlers must not cross the start or finish line; those who do will sadly be disqualified. Dinky dog entrants are encouraged to bring their best manners, wear their leashes while awaiting their chance at the derby, be current with vaccinations, and be ready to be the stars of the day. Yes, pet costumes are welcome so long as they fit comfortable and your pet can move freely in them.
