It’s sort
of an unofficial mantra amongst pet owners that our four-legged friends are often much more
well cared for than us. They get the types of luxuries we can only
dream about: free shelter, free food, unlimited napping time. . .
 |
| Carry on.
In our eyes, our pets should be treated like royalty—and the San Antonio Humane Society (SAHS) agrees!
|
An official Fiesta® event, the El Rey Fido fundraising
competition is every dog-owner’s chance to prove the magnificence and majesty
of their pooches, while also benefiting their local pet community—not to
mention the chance to participate in another glorious and festive Fiesta event!
 |
| I am Fiesta. |
Unfortunately, our feline overlords are not able to participate in this event. Something about being in the company of strangers really taxes on kitty's nerves.
 |
| I don't need a crown to prove I'm royalty. |
The dog
owner and canine pair who are able to raise the most funds will be crowned and
celebrated at a coronation event in April. Four runner-up pairs will be awarded separate titles and serve on
the El Rey Fido court. The perks of being conferred these royal titles includes
serving as ambassadors for the SAHS during their reigning year, participation
in various media events and appearances, and the chance to don some swanky royal gear.
 |
| I woke up like this. |
Getting
started is simple: contestants can create and keep track of their donations on
their FirstGiving fundraising page. Donations can also
be made in-person at the SAHS in a contestant’s name.
Contestants
can use many creative means to raise funds: create a Facebook
page, start a bake sale, make shirts and badges, even soliciting the help of
friends and family who are already fans of your precious pooch is advantageous.
The deadline
for the competition is March 10. Funds raised by this fundraising
competition benefit all the homeless pets at the San Antonio Humane Society.
