The Dogs Refuge Home will be taking part in this year's Inglewood Monday Night Markets Dog Show to help make the public aware of the plight of dogs seeking permanent homes.
Organisers of the markets are putting out the call for cute dogs to take part in the free, fun event, which usually attracts around 25 dogs.
It will be held on Monday November 15 at 6.15pm in the Inglewood Town Square, in front of the Inglewood Library on the corner of Beaufort Street and 10th Avenue.
Dog owners are encouraged to register their dogs by emailing helen@inglewoodonbeaufort.com, listing the name, breed and age. All dogs must be on a leash.
Dogs can be dressed up or au naturel.
Chair of community group Inglewood on Beaufort Street, which organises the Monday night markets, Damien Giudici, says all well-behaved and vaccinated dogs are welcome to join in.
Some people dress up their dogs and others encourage their furry friends to do tricks and others want to show off how cute their dogs are.
Dress ups are welcome at the dog show.
He says there's nothing too serious about the show, which was about providing an opportunity for people to have fun and at the same time grab a bite to eat from one of the 40 vendors, who line both sides of Beaufort Street in Inglewood.
There is no cost to enter and prizes will be on offer, including the first prize of a voucher for 10kg of preservative and additive-free lamb and offal mince from human grade beef, valued at $125 from
Mondo Butchers; second prize id a matching outfit of choice for owner and pet from
Rolas Pet Boutique; and third prize of a hamper of treats from
Woof Meow Tweet Squeak – The Treat Truck.

The Monday night markets are always popular with visitors who enjoy taking their dogs for a stroll while enjoying the entertainment, the bustle of the markets and picking up something to eat from the stallholders with food styles from around the world.
Well behaved dogs of all shapes and sizes are welcome.
The markets operate every Monday through to March 28 next year, except for a break for Christmas on December 27.
The markets run from Eighth Ave to Tenth Ave along Beaufort St in Inglewood.
