Wags for Wishes

by Carole A. Lane on July 10th, 2008

Make-a-Wish Foundation of San Diego will host the 6th Annual Wags for Wishes, to be held at Otay Ranch Town Center and Otay Ranch High School all this weekend (Friday through Sunday). Wags for Wishes is one of the largest comprehensive dog shows on the West Coast, with over 1,500 dogs expected to compete!

This is not your typical dog show though. It’s more like combining them all in one. There’s Agility Trials, Obedience, Splash Dogs, Field Lure Coursing, Canine Good Citizen, and All-Breed Sprint Racing, all held at Otay Ranch Town Center.

Meanwhile, Otay Ranch High School will serve as the site for Flyball, and Disc Dogs (fetching Frisbees).

One of the most unique things about this dog show is that all well-behaved dogs are welcome to participate, so register for your favorite events and bring your pooch along to have some fun.

A “Mutt Strut” Fashion Show and a “Dogs’ Got Talent” Competition will also be held at Otay Ranch Town Center, along with an all-day Vendor Village with about 30 different vendors.

Make-a-Wish Foundation grants wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.

All proceeds from Wags for Wishes will be used to make wishes come true for some very special children.
