HOW IT WORKS/Q&A
How many categories are there? There are eight (8) categories total.
Do I have to be present at Wigglebutts Go Hollywoof on September 20, 2014? Yes, in order to qualify for ANY of these awards, you and your pet must be present at Wigglebutts Go Hollywoof to be eligible.
What are the categories?
There are eight categories, with 8 trophies (each with a prize) to be awarded. Those categories are:
Best Dressed Female Dog

Best Dressed Male Dog: Judges will be walking around throughout the early part of the evening to judge the best dressed male dog.
Most Charitable Dog: The dog in attendance who gives freely of his or her time to help dogs in need. We are looking for one special dog who exemplifies this spirit and devotes some of their time to helping other pets in need. In 100 words or less, judges will select one dog who best exemplifies this category.
Any Species Other Than Dog (ASOTD) : If a pet shows up that is not a dog, we want to award you: One special non-dog will win an award for this category.

If you want your pet to be considered for the Most Charitable Dog award or Best Rescue Story Award, you need to let us know by July 1, 2014. Keep reading, it’s easy and fun.
What Will I Win? A trophy, a badge for your blog/website/Facebook page, a special extra prize, pictures for media and post event coverage, accolades, and the applause and recognition from all guests in attendance.
Can I Win In More Than One Category? You can only win in one category but the overall winner, the Wigglebutt of the Year award, will go to one of the seven winners from the other categories. So indeed, one lucky dog will go home with two trophies!
Is There a Fee? No extra fee is involved. Once you buy a ticket for you and your pet, you are eligible.
I Hear the Pup Scouts Are Giving Badges Out. Is This True? Yes, during the awards portion, badges will be awarded and all details on becoming a Pup Scout and earning a Hollywoof badge can be found here.
What If I Want to Enter My Dog in the Most Charitable Dog award or Best Rescue Story Award categories?
You need to send your name and city/state along with the name of the dog coming to Hollywoof with you along with the reason the dog deserves to win that category in 100 words or less to us. Send it Darlene, whose email is frmrtcher@gmail.com.
Winners must be in attendance to win. No exceptions.
What Else Should I Know? We only have 100 tickets available and 55 pets allowed. So the field is going to be narrowed to 55 pets, mostly dogs and some cats. And that means once we reach 55 pets, no further animals will be allowed to attend or enter. So get your tickets early, as we will sell out. As of this date, we have sold over half the tickets. There will be no exceptions.
This is a fun way to fundraise for a rescue group near and dear to our hearts: OBG (Oldies But Goodies) Cocker Rescue, who has been saving dogs’ lives for well over a decade.
You get oh so much more for the cost of the ticket, and the ticket price is oh so affordable. Here are complete details on what you get, where to buy tickets, and where to book your room to stay overnight.
We have people coming from all over the United States and we are going to have a memorable weekend. For those who don’t know, in 2013, we hosted Wigglebutt Wedding, where Dexter married his doggie bride, Zoe, and we raise several thousand dollars for a Cocker Rescue. We will continue to up the “bark” with a fab event every year, and plenty of surprises in between.
We love Olde Towne Pet Resort and this entire facility will be transformed into Hollywood magic.
So for now, get your tickets, and if you want to enter either the Most Charitable Dog award or Best Rescue Story Award categories, you need to send your name and city/state along with the name of the dog coming to Hollywoof with you along with the reason the dog deserves to win that category in 100 words or less to us. Send it Darlene, whose email is frmrtcher@gmail.com.
We have plenty of sponsors on tap, and we will be building our exclusive sponsor page so you can engage with, frequent, and give some Wigglebutt love to the folks helping us make all of this magic happen.
So whatcha waitin’ for?
If you love doing things with your dog, with like-minded people who celebrate all things dog, then join us September 20 and September 21 in Sterling, Virginia, for a weekend you will cherish forever.
See you under the stars for Wigglebutts Go Hollywoof!!!
