Music With Mosby

The 2nd annual "Music for Mosby" event was a huge success despite mother nature throwing us a hurricane this year!  Barren Ridge Vineyard was wonderful for letting us and the dogs have free reign over their facility!  The dog costume contest was a wonderful event and featured some amazing costumes!  Special Thanks to Brenda Vann and her wonderful catering.  The food & treats were amazing!  Also let us thank Jimmy O and the City Limits Band for entertaining us with wonderful music for all of the afternoon!  Overall this event raised over $1300.00 for the Mosby Foundation of which every penny will go to help abused and neglected canines.  Thanks so much for everyone who helped out!

5th Annual Pet Dog Show

The Mosby Foundation sponsored our fifth annual Pet Dog Show at the Rockingham County Fair on Saturday, August 18th, 2012. We had 37 dogs registered to compete in 6 classes. To start the evening, we had 27 (!) dogs crowded into our little show ring for the Prettiest Purebred class, where "Justa", Sharon Craig's Jack Rusell Terrier took first place. In the Best Kisser class we had 18 pooches prepared to slurp. Despite some tough competition, our reigning champion, Jennifer Bennett's "Boo", once again showed that Pugs are the best kissers! In our Dogs Over 50 lbs class, Buddy Fauber's Great Pyrenees “Cotton”, outshone 16 other competitors. The show ring overflowed again with 25 dogs competing in the Prettiest Eyes class, where Melissa Cline's mixed breed "Angel" took home the blue ribbon. In the Dogs Under 50 lbs class, we had 12 petite pooches competing, and it was Sandy Humphrey's 1 lb chocolate Chihuahua "Hershey" finishing at the top of the class. In the always a crowd pleaser Costume Class, we had 16 well-dressed dogs showing up in some phenomenally creative clothing. First place went to "racehorse #5" - otherwise known as "Copper", Ashley Samuels' Boxer.

Our Best in Show this year was “Justa” the charismatic Jack Russell Terrier!

Thanks to our emcee, Jeff Fife, who kept the crowd entertained and informed, and to our judge, Danielle Dundas, who had the difficult task of choosing a winner from among all those adorable pooches! Thanks also to all the volunteers who kept things running smoothly – we had a GREAT crew again this year!
