CLEVELAND – Since 2004, Project Runway has attracted millions of viewers to see some of the latest fashion trends being created right before their eyes. Inspired by the runaway success of the hit TV show, the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter presents the 2nd Annual Paw-ject Runway Calendar Contest & Expo, hosted by 100.7 WMMS Rover’s Morning Glory’s own Erika Geosano, on Sunday, August 23, 2015, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at Whiskey Island Marina.

Paw-ject Runway is an opportunity for local canines to get on the “catwalk” and display his or her sense of style.

All contestants will receive a calendar and a flash drive containing event photos.
"It is a family friendly, tail wagging good time for everyone,” said Mindy Naticchioni, Kennel Manager, Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter.
The cost to participate in Paw-ject Runway is $20 per dog and one handler. The event is FREE for spectators. All proceeds benefit the Best Friends’ Medical Relief Fund which provides veterinary care for sick or injured shelter dogs and puppies, affording them a second chance at a happy life.
Dog owners may also enter their fury friend in a free bikini contest for dogs! The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate from PetPeople.
This event also features a Rescue & Vendor Expo, where local groups will have the opportunity to showcase their adoptable animals and merchandise for pet lovers.
