Best in Show 2026
April 26, 2026 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Thomas & Mack Center, South Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas, NV, USA
Each year, Best in Show shines a spotlight on 20+ of The Animal Foundation's most adoptable dogs, celebrating the incredible variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities that come through our shelter.
But this event is about more than the dogs on the teal carpet. As our largest fundraiser, Best in Show helps provide lifesaving care, extra time, and second chances for the 20,000+ animals who need us each year. While only a few dogs compete, every dollar raised makes a difference.
Join us for a day of inspiring stories, joyful adoptions, and a celebration of shelter dogs -- because when you support Best in Show, you're helping animals find their forever homes.

them.
