Helping Paws Canine Royalty Coronation
Wednesday, July 11  - 7:00 pm
Hopkins Center for the Arts
Everyone is invited to this wonderful event
Each year, Helping Paws elects Canine Royalty. The candidates are Helping Paws service dogs and service dogs in-training. The service dogs fill the roles of King and Queen and the service dogs in-training fill the roles of Prince and Princess.

Several dogs are nominated for each of these "seats" and a public election is held to determine the winner.  Dogs were nominated by their foster families and graduates of the program.  Voting was open to the general public, at the Helping Paws training center at 11 N. 7th Ave. or online at www.helpingpaws.org

To be nominated as senior royalty, a dog  must be a graduate of the program.        To be junior royalty, a dog
    must be in the training program.
