Las Vegas has gone to the dogs...and it's coming to Chicago Ridge! The Urban Mutt is proud to present Viva Dog Vegas! This casino-style holiday extravaganza will feature various table games, a raffle, bingo, vendors, dog activities, and many other exciting attractions. More importantly, we will donate a portion of the proceeds from the event to the Chicago Ridge Animal Welfare League, Chicagoland's Largest Humane Society. Chicago Ridge was recently in the news when they received a large group of dogs from the police, after they were discovered during a raid on a daycare center (read about the story HERE). These dogs, and many others like them, may stay at the AWL for a very long time. Since they operate only on public donations, the League truly needs any help they can get. This, coupled with the fact that we adopted our Peanut from here, is why we have teamed up them to bring this event to you. You can try your luck at one of several Vegas style games, or take a chance on one of the various Carnival games. There will also be several services and activities that you and your pup can take advantage of, so even if your not much of a gambler there will be plenty to do. Also, don't worry if you don't have a dog, you can still enjoy all the activities, and there will be plenty of non-dog related prizes you can win as well. So grab your pooch, slip on some fun Vegas attire (there will be a dog and owner outfit contest), and head on over to Dog Vegas!
